|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.
Mitigation
-The trustees are aware ofcomments
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.||
||b

manager
attends the CQC briefings and senior managers
attend the||
||regular briefings
by commissioners.

attends
VODG meetings
to aid keeping||
||abreast ofsector specific developments.

for a Covid Safe Workplace||
||are monitored
by senior management
