This report outlines the 2022/2023 Q4 update of the Strategic Risk Register.  The Risk Register covers the actions completed by the Council during Q4 and the risk ratings for the Council for Q1 of 2023/2024.

Robin Pringle, Health, Safety & Risk Management Lead, presented a report outlining the Q4 updates to the Strategic Risk Register (SRR), in line with the requirements of the Council’s Risk Management Strategy. A copy of the SRR was attached to the report at Appendix 1.  The Risk Register covered the actions completed by the Council during Q4 and the risk ratings for Q1 of 2023/24.  The SRR had been reviewed by CMT in March 2023 and no risks had been removed or de-escalated to the relevant Directorate Risk Register.  There had also been no new risks added to the SRR.

The report stated that Risk Management Training had been delivered to Councillors on 2 February and 30 March 2023.  Both training sessions had provided Members with the guidance on how to review and challenge reports when received as part of promoting good governance.

Resolved:     That the Council’s Strategic Risk Register, as at the end of Q4 (March 2023), be noted.
