Issue - meetings

A discussion took place as to how risk ratings were derived and why some risks looked more severe than others but may have a lower risk rating. It was accepted that risk ratings were not always easy to assess. It was noted that there were certain risks that the Council had some control of, but there were  other risks that the Council had little or no control over. It was noted that the degree of risk was a view taken at a particular point in time and that the process of rating risks was not a precise science.

RESOLVED that the update on the Risk Register be noted.
