Overview
Effective regulation is vital to protect consumers, society, health, the economy and the environment. Expectations of the level of protection that regulation should provide are steadily increasing. At the same time there is a need to manage the cost of regulation – e.g. the cost of operating regulation and also the costs incurred by those regulated. Stakeholders expect regulation to become “better” over time, a process of continous improvement. This event is designed to help people explore how regulation can be improved, in terms of reducing the burdens on those regulated and also improving the level of its effectiveness and efficiency (including by better use of digital tools).
Who Should Attend and Why?
The course will be useful for those from independent regulators, civil servants, local government officials as well as anyone from the private and voluntary sectors who is involved in influencing government policy on regulatory issues. The event is designed for people with a variety of levels of experience – from those new to regulation to those with extensive experience who are seeking some fresh insights.
How You Will Benefit from Attending?
This course equips people with the insights and knowledge to be able to identify which areas of regulation could be improved and the options for improvement, how to remove unnecessary burdens while improving the targeting and effectiveness of regulation, and how to collaborate more effectively with both the regulated and those that regulation is designed to protect.
