[f). Risk Management Policies. The Internal Auditor reported on a suggestion, emanating from his recent training at ALCA, that for a Clerk who does more than 20 hours per week, part-time help should be considered for the Parish Office to cover any absence of the Clerk due to prolonged illness or holiday periods. The Risk Management Policy agreed of 22^nd July 2002 was reviewed and members agreed that the Clerk's absence was not properly covered by the present policy. It was therefore agreed that the Personnel Committee should look more closely at the risks involved and consider (or otherwise) an appointment, with costing, and refer back to the Finance Committee for funding].
