 ALARM has issued a new free publication with the above title. It presents the results of an ALARM North East Workshop, held in May 2008, in which forty-five participants from a wide cross section of UK public services and the insurance industry discussed the subject of partnership risks.
Partnering is defined by the report as the collaboration between parties with a shared interest and the report explores the following partnership risk questions in detail:
• What is the danger of losing track of the number and identities of numerous partners?
• Are all of your partnerships ones of choice and, if not, is there conflict and distrust between partners?
• Especially in public/private partnership arrangements, does each of the partners understand that a different ethos exists between the sectors?
• Are the terms of the contract explicit and the expectations and responsibilities of each partner clear?
• Are we able to separate the strategic issues and risks from the operational ones?
• Can our existing risk management systems and procedures cope with the new risks that a partnership may bring?
