Presentation from Head of Service, Leisure and Cultural Services
Minutes:
The Chairman welcomed Mr. J. Godwin, Head of Leisure and Cultural Services to the meeting.
Mr. J. Godwin provided the Board with a presentation detailing risk management for his service area. He highlighted that the risk register was a live document and would be reviewed on a day to day basis. The presentation slides detailed information on the risk management principles and highlighted that good operational management was required in order to understand service based risks. Following a review of the existing risk register for his service area across Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council a new risk register was produced in line with the revised corporate risk policy.
Mr. J. Godwin responded to Members’ questions in respect of ownership by managers and monitoring, highlighting that 4th and 5th tier managers for each service area would take responsibility for risk management, with documented responsibility detailed on 4th tier manager’s job descriptions. In his service area risk management would become a standard item at all team meetings and the Business Manager would review monthly to ensure performance was monitored.
The Chairman thanked Mr. J. Godwin for his presentation.
