241025 ARC Paper 3 Annex 1 Strategic Risk Register

This document contains a risk register for the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA), detailing various risks and the mitigation strategies in place as of 27 September 2024. The risks cover several areas including financial resources (funding constraints and securing match funding), staffing (skill gaps, recruitment challenges, and pay issues), technical systems (IT infrastructure and business continuity planning), and reputational risks (managing stakeholder expectations). Each risk is assessed for its impact and likelihood, with a corresponding risk score and planned actions to reduce the risks, including ongoing liaison with the Scottish Government, staff recruitment and training, and improvements to IT systems. The document also shows the current status, trend, and responsible party for each risk.
