Revision as of 15:52, 29 January 2008

In 2008, it was announced that the Risk and Regulatory Advisory Council (RRAC) was set up in response to recommendations from (& as a replacement for) the Better Regulation Commission[1].

It is reported that the Risk and Regulatory Advisory Council is a 'body for common sense' which will run alongside a 'national campaign to emphasise the importance of self- reliance and a sense of adventure'. The aim?... 'It is intended to engage the public, and remind them that the Government is not responsible for every accident or piece of bad fortune that befalls its citizens. The team of seven will tackle policy areas where there are fears that the Government is in danger of overkill'[2].

The RRAC will report to Vicky Pryce, Chief Economic Adviser and Director General of Economics at the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) and the Joint Head of the Government Economic Service. The Government News Network [3] reports that the RRAC's work 'will involve regulators, risk experts, Parliament, lobby groups, the media and the public; it will not solely focus on government but also work towards improving the quality of dialogue with the public on risk issues'.
