STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE
AND MANAGEMENT		 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE
AND MANAGEMENT
Risk management
The Governance
Committee
regularly
review the strategic
risk register and have identified
key risks and determined		 their
mitigation.
Reflecting
the impact ofthe Covid-19 pandemic
and post pandemic
opportunities
and threats
in social		 care,
these include:
1 Competition
from similar organisations,
with an ever-present
factor being those paying
higher wages and an
emerging
factor being use oftechnology.
Mitigations - The trustees
have sanctioned
above Real Living Wage for
2022-23 and continue to monitor the local market to ensure the charity's
reward
and recognition
package
is
attractive.
Developments
in adult social care in the Merseyside
area and all requests
for new services are logged
and outcomes are reported to the Business 8 Marketing
Committee.
Families and carers are surveyed
regularly
and their feedback acted upon.
2 Information
Technology,
particularly
in respect ofdigitisation
ofthe sector. Mitigation
- Our Chief Executive and
senior management
team have evaluated
a number oftechnology
providers
and software to establish
the most
effective solutions to meet our needs
in short to medium
term. A business case has been made and, at the time
ofwriting,
is with trustees
for sign-off.
3 Over dependency
on one key supplier.
Mitigation - Opportunities
to develop transition
services and services
in
boroughs
outside
Liverpool are monitored.
Work will continue to develop
additional
sources
in 2022-23.
4 Employment
issues. Mitigation - Our Chief Executive and senior managers
regularly
hold staff forums,
briefing
staff on developments,
receiving feedback and building
team spirit. For example;
Employee
health and well-being
is a priority area for the organisation.
Individual
health and welfare checks
regularly
take place and employee
support
is available
through
our Employee
Benefits Flexcel Plafform.		 In
July 2021 we engaged
an external specialist consultancy
to work with us to analyse,
design and administer
the wellbeing
ofour employees,
covering; Personal Wellbeing,
Relationships
and Social Connections,
The
Role ofthe Organisation,
Future Working
and Living with Covid-19. The results and analysis
served to
underpin
the content ofour Wellbeing
Strategy,
risks and appropriate
mitigation
measures
including
roll out
ofwellbeing
training
covering
Mental
Health
First Aid in 2022-23 along with a bespoke Mental
Health
&
Wellbeing
course for all managers
and service coordinators.
Sleep-in payments,
we had paid at NMW. Following the MENCAP appeal decision, commissioned
rates
were frozen pending
consultation
in the local sector. In April 2022, the trustees decided to move
in line with
local providers
and pay an allowance.
Extensive consultation
with staff has taken place and changes
introduced
successfully.
5 Cash flow sensitivities.
Mitigation - The cash flow forecast for 2022-23 is reviewed
by the Finance Committee.
6 Dependency
on income from local authorities.

made
by local
authorities
about the impact ofCovid-19 on their funds. Statements
from Liverpool
City Council on their financial
viability and the potential
implications
ofa Section 114will be monitored.
7 Compliance
with legislation
and regulations,
specifically;
a
arising
from Merseyside
Fire 8 Rescue Service extending
regulations
to apply to supported
living services
delivered
by all providers.
Mitigation
-We worked closely with commissioners,
housing
providers
and
Merseyside
Fire & Rescue to implement
all the immediate
requirements
satisfactorily.
A specialist fire risk
assessment
provider has been engaged
and an annual
survey programme
is in operation,
with
assessments
and actions being reported
to the trustees
through
the Governance
&Safeguarding
Committee.
