1. Understanding Risk
Integrated Risk Management is a continuous, proactive and systematic process to understand, manage, and communicate risk from an organisation-wide perspective. It is about making strategic decisions that contribute to the achievement of GGA’s overall goals’
GGA Risk Management Framework 2011

2. What is Risk a situation involving exposure to danger.
"do not use the stove inside a tent because of the risk of fire"

3. What is a hazard?
A hazard is anything that has the potential to harm people
Using the stove in the tent as it will cause a fire

4. Region and District Manager’s Role
Identify operational risks
Assess the affect that they will have on the Region or District - positive and negative
Control the risk where needed
Controlling risk is not stopping any activity that might contain a risk, it is reducing the likelihood of the risk happening.

5. So what is Operational Risk Management
A logic-based, common sense approach to making calculated decisions on people, reputation, and environmental factors
The process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risk
Operational risk management is a way to manage risk and applies to everything we do.

Public Documents
Must be kept until the youngest girl turns 25
Are a living Document and should be updated regulary
Public documents which should be available for any member or public body who wish to see them
The risk plan for the hall should be revisited every year to see what has changed and updated
The risk assessments for activities involving the girls needs to be kept until the youngest member is 25.
How you store these documents is up to you, my recommendation is that they are in a filing cabinet or sealed plastic tub.
