Risk Management Policy
The aim of this document is to provide clear and accurate direction & guidance to risk management for all staff within Derbyshire Community Health Service NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS). Risk management is the recognition and effective administration of all threats that may negatively impact upon values, standards & reputation of DCHS thus preventing planned objectives that in turn may preclude the Trust in its delivery of high quality statutory responsibilities. Risk management also includes positive exploitation of any opportunity that may present during threat analysis or mitigation. The purpose of this policy is to evidence the importance of risk management to DCHS, maintain a consistent approach to effective risk management, ensure accurate & effective systems and processes are firmly in place to support all staff in the management of corporate and operational risks across the organisation. Provide a single point of reference for information pertaining to all contributing facets, platforms, staff & agencies involved in the management of risk throughout all areas of service provision. DCHS’ risk Management policy seeks to mitigate risks that may threaten delivery of planned strategic objectives and put in place measured controls to manage such risks to as low as reasonably practicable.
