SUA RISK PROCESS (Aug 2023)
Strategic
The sub-committee of the officers of the SUA, comprising the President (Chairman of the Executive Committee), the Hon Secretary, and the Hon Treasurer, will review the risks and the materialisation of risks between Ordinary Meetings of the Executive of the SUA, and take mitigation action where possible. The review of risks, and where possible the mitigation action, is to be carried out even when there is a vacancy in one of the officer posts.
A report will be made at the next Ordinary Meeting, where support from the Executive Committee may be requested, recognizing that the focus of the Executive Committee is to be on the positive energising of local Unitarianism.
Risks and their management are reviewed by the sub-committee of the officers prior to each AGM, and recommendations made to the AGM as appropriate, in a formal report that may use the format:
Operational
- vision
- connection
- money
Financial
Statutory and legal
Reputational
Operational
For every face to face gathering, the Health and Safety policy requires that a responsible person be nominated to oversee the event. This nominee will usually be associated with the congregation that is associated with the venue (and thus most familiar with the venue’s risks).
Prior to each face to face gathering, a risk assessment will be carried out and recorded on a form that can be made available on the day, or preferably, beforehand. The nominated responsible person risk assessment will normally be closely involved with the preparation of the risk assessment.
