The Executive Director of Finance and Corporate Resources presented the Risk Management Strategy and in so doing advised Members that the Council had not reviewed this strategy for approximately five years.  The updated strategy had been drafted in accordance with advice received from the Zurich Insurance Group in respect of best practice.  The document was intended for the use of staff, elected Members and members of the public and set out how the Council managed and mitigated risks.  A handbook had also been drafted which would be provided for the use of managers if the strategy was approved.

RECOMMENDED that

the Risk Management Strategy be approved.
