o ACTION: Mr Sotande-Peters to obtain a more detailed response with regard to the Troubled Families programme and the action taken to mitigate the risk to the payment by results claims.
· In response to why risks on the corporate register are colour coded differently and how they are measured, Mr Tinkler stated that the appropriate level of risk is placed on the register in consultation with the Corporate Leadership team. Mr Tinkler said a short presentation from each Directorate on their risk could be arranged if Members desired.
o ACTION: Members agreed they would like to have access to the Directorate level risk registers.
· Mr Sotande-Peters confirmed the two new risks were added to the corporate risk register because of the following reasons.
