Issue - meetings

The Board received a report which set out a draft Risk Register, which was required as part of the Risk Management Strategy adopted by the HSP in July 2008.

The Risk Register assessed the risks attached to achieving Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets within the Boards responsibility. It was noted that the CYPSP Advisory Board had taken the lead in developing the Register and following discussion with the Council’s Head of Audit and Risk Management the document had been amended to make reference to the JAR of Safeguarding.

It was noted that the Register would need to be updated on a regular basis and that it was likely that as the JAR Action Plan was produced further updates would be necessary.

The Board discussed the proposed Risk Register and the Chair noted that there were areas within the document where there no controller or risk owner was identified. It was confirmed that individuals responsible for these areas would be identified and that the completed document would be circulated to members of the Board with the minutes.

It was suggested that NI 56, in relation to Childhood Obesity, should be amended to include ‘a lack of providers’ and ‘alternative, less healthy alternatives’ as risks to achieving this target.

RESOLVED:

That, subject to the amendments, above the Risk Register proposed be adopted.
