Experts will guide you through the process and address the wider considerations arising from the reputational implications of being involved with an inquest.

Session
In this interactive session, you will become a member of a council audit and risk committee. The committee members will analyse three large losses experienced by neighbouring authorities.
In groups you will:
- Identify the basic and root causes (both latent and active).
- Identify possible trigger points where the council could have prevented the risk from materialising.
- Consider what new mitigations could be implemented to further control these risks and prevent such claims arising in your own organisation.
The session will close with key learnings you can take back to your own organisation to help strengthen your risk profiles.

Session
In the final session of the day, Matt will look to consider whether we need to reframe the conversation around risk. How we take appropriate risks and harness the opportunity they bring. Consider how we leverage the strengths we all have as risk practitioners and ensure long term risks are being considered as well as the short term implications when it comes to decision making.
