risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The District Executive Committee has
identified the major risks to which they
believe the Groups in the District are
exposed, these have been reviewed and
systems have been established to mitigate
them. The main areas of concern that have
been identified are:
Damage to buildings, property and
equipment. The District would request the
use of buildings, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisations such as
the church, community centre and other
Scout Districts. Similar reciprocal
arrangements exist with these
organisations. The District has sufficient
insurance in place to mitigate against
permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and
members. The District, through the
capitation fees contributes to The Scout
Association’s national accident insurance
policy. Risk assessments are undertaken
before all activities.
Reduced Income from fund raising. The
District Groups are primarily reliant upon
income from subscriptions and fundraising.
The District does hold a reserve to ensure
the continuity of activities should there be
a major reduction in income. The| committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the District on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently.  Reduction or loss of leaders. The District is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the District. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular Section or Group then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a Section, Sections or Group.  Reduction or loss of members. The District provides activities for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular Section or Group then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a Section, Sections or Group. The District has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include two signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that appropriate insurable risks are covered.
