Details

Delivering independent scrutiny is the core function of the RPC. We do this to improve the quality of evidence and analysis used to inform government decision making on regulations and to ensure that government claims regarding the burden of regulation on business are credible. Our scrutiny role is delivered through casework – most commonly the opinions we produce on the impact assessments produced by departments. This guide is intended to summarise our approach for our stakeholders. It provides an overview of the key elements of casework, including how we engage with departments, the principles that guide our approaches, and the processes that we follow.
