ARC Paper 6 Annex 1 Strategic Risk Register

This document contains a risk register for the Cairngorms National Park Authority, detailing key challenges and the actions being taken to address them. Major concerns include financial stability, especially securing public sector funding and investment for projects like Cairngorms 2030, alongside staffing issues such as skill gaps, recruitment, workforce flexibility, and pay expectations. The Park Authority is also working to ensure robust IT systems, strong cyber security, and effective business continuity plans. Other risks involve strategic delivery challenges, including addressing wildlife crime and adapting to government policy changes, as well as managing the organisation's reputation against unrealistic expectations and potential misinformation. For each of these areas, the document outlines current mitigation efforts and planned future actions.
