Good regulation is essential to successful business.
The government strives to achieve the right regulatory
balance between supporting excellent business practice
and protecting workers, consumers and the environment.
The Reforming Regulation Initiative is an invitation to
businesses and the public to help government ensure
that regulation is sensible and proportionate. We’re
particularly interested in the needs of small
businesses.
Please let us know how we could improve the system of
UK regulation by responding to this short consultation.
Please note that this is about improving the system
rather than changing regulatory decisions about
individual cases. If you want to challenge a decision
about a case, you can get details of how to appeal from
the relevant regulator’s website.
Regulations related to public safety in buildings have
been excluded from the scope of this initiative as the
government is delivering a separate programme of
improving regulation in these areas.
The initiative does not cover the responsibilities of
the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales or
Northern Ireland.
