The Committee RESOLVED

- To note the report.

The Committee was advised that this report provided anupdate on current significant strategic risks to achieving theCouncil’s objectives within the Adult Social Care Committee, as set in the Corporate Strategy 2022-2027, and summarised progress in managing the risks and actions being taken as at Quarter 1, 2024-25.

It was noted that the full Q1 Corporate Risk Report had been previously reported to the Strategy and Resources Policy Committee on 15 July 2024.

There were no decisions to be taken on the report which was for noting.

The Executive Director presented the report. It was noted that the four identified high risks had also been identified by the peer review (financial risk did not fall under the CQC remit).

The Committee was invited to raise comments or questions. Key points from the discussion included:

1.      The Committee welcomed the report and noted the value in consistent monitoring of risk. It was noted that the availability of quarterly reports were not always in sync with Policy Committee meetings, and that it would be useful to clarify the reporting schedule.

2.      The high number of Local Authorities at risk of bankruptcy was noted, and the position of Bristol was queried. It was acknowledged that the financial position was extremely challenging. Budget was monitored through the Strategy and Resources Policy Committee.

3.      The control for risk CRR53 to develop an enhanced wellbeing offer for operational staff was queried. It was agreed that examples could be provided.

4.      The role of the Single Commissioning Framework in developing strategic partnerships to support high complexity capacity was highlighted.
