Welcome to our Winter 2018 edition of 'The Standard'. In our first issue of 2018 we don't so much focus on new year's resolutions but the possibility of a new year's reformation. There is only a week left to respond to the government's consultation on reforming regulation. In this issue we outline how our special report - Right-touch reform can inform debate and discussion about regulatory reform. It provides a useful resource for anyone interested in responding to the consultation. It provides background, context and a detailed analysis of the current state of regulation and what needs to change to make it fit for purpose in the 21st century. Read more about it in our Research and policy update.

Only one week left to respond to the
consultation on reforming professional regulation. Don’t miss out. ‘A once in a
lifetime opportunity’ to protect patients and support professionals is how our
Chief Executive, Harry Cayton, described it. We have been calling for reform
for a long time and to make the most of this opportunity and encourage people
to respond, we have produced a special report– Right-touch reform.
