Risk and Internal Control
The Group Executive Committee has identified the major risks to which
they believe the Group is exposed, these have been reviewed and
systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas
ofconcern that have been identified are:
Damage to the building, 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 Scou
Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisauons.
The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to
mitigate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through
the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident
insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The group 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 group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or
permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon volunteers to
run and administer the activities of the group. If there was a reduction in
the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or
the group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the
complete closure ofthe Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activdies for all young people aged 6 to 14.5. If there was a reduction in membership in a
particular section or the group as whole then there would have to be a
contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.
