This document contains the results of a risk appetite workshop held in June 2023 by the Cairngorms National Park Authority. Fourteen members of the board and senior management participated, independently assessing risk appetite across seven categories. The categories included environmental protection, economic development, and visitor management. Results showed a range of risk appetites, from "eager" to "cautious," depending on the specific area. The next steps include formal board approval of the proposed risk appetites, communication to staff, and integration into the organization's risk registers. Health and safety risks will be treated with an "averse" risk appetite.
