| 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 Scout Groups. Similar |
|
| reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. 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 ofsubscriptions to increase |
|
| the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either | |
| temporarily or permanently. |
|
| Reduction or loss ofleaders. The group is totally reliant | |
| upon volunteers to run and administer the activities ofthe |
|
| group. Ifthere was a reduction in the number ofleaders |
to |
| an unacceptable level in a particular section orthe group |
as |
| a whole then there would have to be a contraction, | |
| consolidation or closure ofa section. In the worst case |
|
| scenario the complete closure ofthe Group. | |
| Reduction or loss ofmembers. The Group provides |
|
| activities for all young people aged 6to 18.Ifthere was | a |
| reduction in membership in a particular section orthe group |
|
| as whole then there would have to be a contraction, | |
| consolidation or closure ofa section. In the worst case |
|
| scenario the complete closure ofthe Group. |
