Intervention Risk
Review Group

The evaluation of intervention risks has been a key component of RRAP, including consideration of environmental and ecological, social, cultural, economic and regulatory risk perspectives.

The Intervention Risk Review Group (IRRG) was formed an independent, inter-disciplinary expert group established to consider aspects of intervention risk and provide guidance and advice on risk assessment and management.

The Group was led by Independent Chair Sue Barrell AO FTSE, with members as subject matter experts operating nationally and internationally, outside of the Program.

Scope

A structured and deliberative process has been used to:

Ensure that potential intervention risks have been identified.
Review relevant outputs and knowledge being generated by RRAP researchers to address real and perceived risks, identify knowledge gaps and strategies to address such gaps (including research and modelling).
Provide independent advice on some key intervention risk matters relevant to the currently funded RRAP research and development program.
Assess and advise on residual risk and options for risk management – this will be aligned to consider priority deployment options at scale.
