Understanding the impact of proposed changes to our regulatory approach is fundamental to good policy making. Impact Assessments (IAs) are developed using stakeholder evidence, and are therefore normally first published on our website under consultation.

Once the evidence gathering stage is over, a Final Stage IA is produced and published on our website.
