UKSBS BLOJEU - CR17056BEIS - Business Compliance Research Early Scoping

BEIS Vision is 'An economy that works for everyone - so that there are great places in every part of the UK for people to work and for businesses to invest, innovate and grow' To support the delivery of this Vision Regulatory Delivery has the objective of 'Making Regulation work for British business - businesses are enabled to innovate, explore and grow, people and places are properly protected'. The way in which regulation is delivered will have an impact on the compliance approach of a business and will influence any future relationship the business has with the regulatory body.

Regulation which is delivered in a supportive manner, by Regulators who understand the needs of business, will have the biggest impact on business compliance and be least burdensome to business. Compliant businesses are more competitive and will contribute most to achieving the BEIS vision.

An insights approach by regulators may assist in delivering regulation in a more supportive and focused manner whilst ensuring citizens, communities, workers and the environment are properly protected from harm. Regulatory Delivery (RD) work with Regulatory bodies to improve the way in which Regulation is delivered.

Since April 2016, NMRO (National Measurement Regulation Office) and BRDO (Better Regulation Delivery Office) have come together to form RD. As a result RD is now responsible also for enforcing 12 areas of regulation on behalf of BEIS and DEFRA.

RD has the ambition of being an exemplar regulator and as such wants to develop approaches to regulatory delivery that consider the impact of behavioural insights on business compliance. The aims of the project are to: • Provide data on compliance for the regulations that Regulatory Delivery is responsible for enforcing. • Collate the approaches and systems used to assess compliance and enforce against these regulations • Gather information on what approach and activities ( interventions) the enforcement officers feel works best in achieving compliance • Inform a future piece of work on developing generalisable insights for business compliance.
