________________________________
Objective:
This conference will focus on the implications for regulators, inspectors and other regulatory actors of the changes currently being implemented to the way that risk is considered within regulatory regimes. Recent reviews of regulation have concluded that the aspiration of zero risk - risk elimination - is undesirable as well as unattainable. Government agencies, whilst maintaining essential protections, are urged to make clear to the public the limits of regulation beyond which the individual has to accept responsibility. This notion raises many questions, not least how will regulators, regulatees and indeed, the public, respond? Our aim is to foster discussion and an exchange of ideas on such questions between regulation practitioners and academics.
