| established to mitigate against them. The |
||||||||||
| main areas ofconcern as: | ||||||||||
| Damage to the buildings and property |
||||||||||
| and equipment. The group would request |
||||||||||
| the use of buildings, property and |
||||||||||
| equipment from neighbouring |
||||||||||
| organisations such as the church, |
||||||||||
| community centre and other Scout |
||||||||||
| groups. Similar reciprocal arrangement | ||||||||||
| exist with these organisations. The group |
||||||||||
| has sufficient buildings and contents |
||||||||||
| insurance in place to mitigate against |
||||||||||
| permanent loss. |
||||||||||
| Injury to leaders„helpers and supporters. | ||||||||||
| The group through the capitation fees |
||||||||||
| contributes to the Scout Association's |
||||||||||
| national accident insurance policy. Risk |
||||||||||
| assessments are undertaken before all |
||||||||||
| activities. |
| Reduced income form fundraising. The |
|---|
| group is primarily reliant upon income |
| from subscriptions and fundraising. The |
| group does not hold considerable |
| reserves to ensure the continuity of |
| activities should there be a major |
| reduction in income. |
| Reduction or loss of leaders. The group |
| is totally reliant upon volunteers to run |
| and administer the activities ofthe group. |
| Ifthere was a reduction in the number of |
| leaders to an unacceptable level, then |
| there would be a contraction, |
| consolidation or closure ofa section. In |
| the worst case scenario, the complete |
| closure ofthe group, however, we would |
| mitigate against this by co-opting |
| members for the group from within the |
| district. |
| The group has in place a system of |
| internal controls that are designed to |
| provide reasonable assurance against |
| material mismanagement or loss, and |
| comprehensive insurance policies to |
| ensure that insurable risks are covered. |
