The Council's Risk Management Strategy aims to promote a positive and proactive risk management culture which encourages learning from both previous and future adverse events and allows careful decisions to be taken on risk which will increase the quality of service delivery for service users and employees.
Risk culture refers to the values, beliefs, general awareness, attitudes, and behaviours' of an organisation’s employees towards risk and how risk is managed within the organisation. Risk culture is a key indicator of how widely an organisation’s risk management policies and practices have been adopted.
