Managing your risks
Now, more than ever, the role of strategic and operational risk management is fundamental to building resilience and business success.
It's important to understand that risk management is more than just Health and Safety. It's a strategic tool that forms part of effective and efficient management planning and, if used correctly, allows you to advance, improve and make the most of the opportunities available to your organisation.
Risk management should be embedded throughout your organisation and needs to be led from the top if it is to be truly effective.

Guy Record, Chief Financial Officer, Metropolitan Housing Partnership
"MHP believes that the identification and management of risks is essential for any successful organisation. This includes all risks, be they financial, customer satisfaction, human, service delivery, legal, regulatory or reputational.
At MHP senior management keeps key risks under regular review and risk is a standing item for discussion at each Strategic Management Team meeting; this includes regular Board reporting and discussion of risk issues.
We have identified risk management as a core management skill essential for all managers in the organisation and continue to work to ensure that all staff understand MHP’s approach to risk. Our aim is to identify and manage risks within a Board approved risk appetite in pursuit of our corporate objectives.
All external encouragement and support in this vital area is welcomed and we will be using this document to help us deliver increasingly effective risk management."
