Overview

Regulation is necessary is to protect consumers, society, health, the economy and the environment. It is most effective when it is targeted where the risks to those the regulation is designed to protect are greatest.

This live virtual training seminar is designed to help participants understand how regulation can be improved by using risk management both when designing the regulation and in operating it. It explores what it means to be “risk-based” in practice and how the risk issues in regulation need to be communicated.

This highly interactive event will explore how best practice in targeting regulation can be applied across different types of regulators.

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.
