Mark Hooper - Councillor for Thurrock ( Stifford Clays)

Corporate Risk Register

From: Cabinet - Wednesday, 7th May, 2025 7.00 pm - May 07, 2025

This report introduces the Council’s Corporate Risk Register 2025. Thurrock Council intentions are to be an exemplar of good practice for Risk Management and to meet its statutory responsibilities as set out in Regulation 4 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. The Corporate Risk Register summarises the key risks identified by the Council, including their likelihood, impact and mitigation strategies, the Corporate Risk Register (CRR) provides transparency and accountability regarding potential risks facing the council, allowing informed decisions to be made. This Report seeks the Audit Committees note the newly revised Corporate Risk Register (Appendix 1) and invites members to note the ongoing enhancements to the Council’s Risk Management Framework. The recommendation follows a comprehensive refresh of the Council’s risk registers, undertaken as part of the approved Risk Management Strategy. In addition to the Corporate Risk Register, Directorate and Service-Level risk registers are also being systematically reviewed and updated to ensure alignment with strategic objectives and emerging risks. As part of the continuous improvement process, risk management training is being delivered across the organisation to embed best practices and strengthen risk awareness at all levels. Furthermore, the implementation of the JCAD Risk Management system in 2025 will mark a significant step forward in the Council’s ability to monitor, manage and mitigate risks in a more integrated and data-driven manner, enhancing governance and decision making.
