It is the policy of the Council to adopt a proactive approach to
Risk Management consistent with the various conventions and best
practice.
The Council acknowledges that risk cannot be totally eliminated,
the Council is however committed to the management of “significant”
risks in order to:-
Ensure compliance with statutory obligations
Preserve and enhance service delivery
Maintain effective control of public funds
Promote the reputation of the Council
Support the quality of the environment
These objectives will be attained by systematically identifying,
analysing and evaluating, effectively controlling and monitoring
risk, which endangers the people, property, reputation and
financial stability of the Council.
