Session
In this session, Tim will look at event risk management, with a particular focus on those facilitated by local authorities. The session will cover where the risks come from, how they can be managed and lessons learned from the past. Tim will take a reflective look at some of the event risk workshops he’s been involved with over the past 15 years.

His responsibilities include maintaining the council’s risk management framework, reporting the corporate risks to senior officers and elected members and delivering risk training and workshops. Tim’s role also covers networking and sharing best practice with other local authority risk managers in West Yorkshire and across the UK Core Cities.
As Deputy Chair of West Yorkshire Prepared (the Local Resilience Forum) - Risk and Capabilities sub-group, Tim works with multi-agency partners to update and manage resilience risks facing the county.
