Risk Management
Risk Management is the process of identifying and controlling
the Council's exposure to risks, which may have an impact on the
Council achieving its objectives.
It is an essential part of way the Council conducts its
business.
The Management of Risk ensures that the Council minimises its
exposure to avoidable risks and maximises its opportunities by
taking risks in an informed and controlled manner.
If organisations do not take risk then nothing changes so a
structured approach to risk is critical to progress and effective
management.
How does Carlisle City Council Manage its Risks?
Carlisle City Council is strongly committed to the benefits of a
sound and positive approach to Risk Management. It believes that by
identifying and actively managing risks it can make better,
informed decisions and reduce and control the potential
consequences of risks more effectively. This is described in more
detail in the Council's Risk Management Policy.
Carlisle City Council Corporate Risk Register
As part of the way Carlisle City Council identifies and manages
its biggest risks it has drawn up a Corporate Risk Register.
The Corporate Risk Register is updated on a quarterly
basis and the latest version can be viewed below.
This register contains those risks, which are considered to have
the biggest potential impact on the Council and its priority
objectives and activities.
Each of these risks is scored in terms of impact and likelihood,
and actions, which will reduce the impact, are identified.
The Register is reported quarterly to an overview and
scrutiny panel who monitor these risks for the City
Council.
