MODULE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT

The module comprises an outline risk management policy and a series of supporting spreadsheets to help you identify, categorise, quantify, manage and

report/review risk. It’s not possible to write a policy that would cover every organisation, so it is laid out as a framework that can be adjusted to meet the needs of

any particular organisation. Advice on how to use the framework policy and supporting spreadsheets is highlighted in green in the downloads, to be deleted once

it is no longer needed.

3 Quantifying

and Appetite

This spreadsheet is used for scoring by individuals and includes notes on how

This also asks individuals to define what for them would be unacceptable risk,

so that an assessment of the organisation’s risk appetite can be made.
