Reporting Person – Kevin Foster

The Leader of the Council advised that each year a report on the risk management and business continuity management activities of the Council was reported to the Executive, highlighting any issues.  Since 2023, good progress had been achieved, including the updating and mapping of risks, and the updating of business continuity objectives in-line with agreed monitoring requirements.  It was further noted that the Business Continuity Strategy, Incident Plan and associated documents were scheduled to be updated over coming months, including a full review of content and structure.

A key next step would be to further embed risk across all levels of the Council through training/workshops for Heads of Service and all Senior Managers.
