Continuous Risk
Improvement
Program

CivicRisk was founded on the basis of a single idea: The best way to build safer communities is by working together.

That’s why we offer the Continuous Risk Improvement Program (CRIP), which helps Councils achieve the goal of increasing resilience and gives us further understanding of how our members are managing their risk.

How Does It Work?

Every three years, the Mutual conducts audits through an independent service provider to assess the operations and risks of our members. These assessments happen in person, with interviews to key staff in order to develop a thorough understanding of the Council’s risk culture — including the frameworks and procedures in place to manage risks.

Based on this process, we gather the necessary information to develop best practices for risk management and benchmark members’ performance. We then provide them with bespoke training and support to help improve their risk profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Absolutely. Collaboration is at the heart of how CivicRisk Mutual operates. Our members constantly share best practices and educate one another on the latest industry trends. Additionally, members benefit from $20,000 available in funding grants to support risk management initiatives. Please refer to the Member Portal for the Funding Grant Policy Application Form and additional information.

Our service partner hosts a schedule on the Member Portal — please refer to it for information or contact the Member Services Manager.

Moving to CivicRisk Mutual has been like a breath of fresh air. The willingness of members to provide assistance and share resources is remarkable and my Council has certainly benefited greatly from this support.
