We can be commissioned to assess a regulator’s performance against all or specific areas of the Standards of Good Regulation.  The Standards can be adapted so that they are relevant in different settings and contexts.

Our consultancy work also includes advising on cost-effectiveness, efficiency, governance, policy and legislation.
