Risk Management
These documents outline risk assessments carried out by the local council.
Risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, will have an effect on the achievement of the Council’s objectives.
Risk management is the process whereby authorities methodically address the risks associated with what they do and the services which they provide. The focus of risk management is to identify what can go wrong and take proportionate steps to avoid this or to successfully manage the consequences.
This document has been produced to enable the Parish Council to assess the risks that it faces and satisfy itself that it has taken adequate steps to minimize them.
The risks have been graded using a scoring system of 1-3 of Likelihood and the severity of the impact, 1 being low and 3 being high. These are multiplied together to produce a risk score 1-9.
