Oxford Mutual Ltd Risk Management Funding
One of OML's key priorities is the promotion and support of operational risk management throughout the University. It has introduced a fund to offer financial assistance to departments to encourage them to put risk reduction initiatives in place.
How to Apply
To apply for funding please complete the Risk Management Bids 
(31kb)form and forward it to the Insurance Team for consideration by the OML Board of Directors.
The deadline for applications for 2011/12 is Friday 24 February 2012.
The form should be used to describe the risk management initiative and demonstrate how it is expected to reduce particular risks. Quotations for any work involved should be submitted as supporting documents. If the bid is security-related, you should also seek advice and approval from the University Crime Reduction Officer.
