To consider a report

28.1     SOC A Peckham introduced his report on the review of the Corporate Risk Register. The full extract of the Corporate Risk Register for Corporate Services was displayed and SOC Peckham summarised all 18 risks contained within it, 10 which were treated and 8 were tolerated.

28.2     There were no changes to the risk ratings. There were four changes to the risk ratings as follows:

28.3     CRR29 (if we do not communicate well, both internal and external to the Service, then we will suffer from poor staff morale, miss the opportunity to promote ourselves and the excellent work that we do and potentially impact upon our ability to deliver a full range of services): the new website had been launched on 21 May 2018 and was being continually monitored to ensure that all links and platforms functioned correctly. Analytics were being measured to monitor hits on the website and retain a focus on customer engagement.  Work was ongoing to ensure that the .gov.uk website featured at the top of google search lists.

28.4     CRR43 (if the Service suffers a terrorist attack then there is the potential for elements of the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) to be compromised, our ability to respond to emergency incidents could be significantly affected, we would be unable to fulfil our duties under the Civil Contingencies Act and our reputation could be adversely affected): awareness training on Project Griffin was being rolled out across the Service facilitated by National Inter-agency Liaison Officers (NiLOs) who had received training from the Metropolitan Police. If the Service was able to roll this out to all staff, it would be the first Service in the East of England to do so.

28.5     CRR16 (if there is an unforeseen change of direction for the FRS (e.g. government request to do something which does not currently fall under the remit of the UK FRS), or there are changes in Government or EU policy on fire and rescue matters or other policy directly affecting the FRS then this may have an impact on our ability to deliver a full range of services due to the need to resource such changes): the HMICFRS inspection of the Service had taken place in July 2018 focusing on effectiveness, efficiency and people. The draft report was expected in October 2018 with the final report being published in December 2018. An update report on the process would be submitted to the next meeting of the FRA in October.

28.6     CRR48 (there is a risk that the Service may be subjected to a fine from the ICO due to not implementing GDPR resulting in poor data security and process): A review of the action plan had taken place and resources were being allocated to ensure that amended completion dates were achieved. Thomas Warner was now undertaking some GDPR work now that the bulk of the work relating to the HMICFRS Inspection had been completed.

RESOLVED:

That the review by the Service of the Corporate Risk Register in relation to Corporate Services be approved.
