The principles behind Collective Regulation

The benefits…

Balancing the needs of market participants
Regulation supports economic growth by safeguarding fair treatment for workers and fair competition for businesses.

Co-designing proportionate responses to market risks
Regulation is well balanced when controls are co-designed with businesses, workers and government in response to market risks.

Monitoring and responding to change
Regulation needs to keep pace with shifts in technology and culture, requiring a dynamic understanding of how risks change and evolve.

Being responsive to risk
Regulation is most effective when market participants fully understand their rights and responsibilities.
