In my first public outing as the OfS’s interim chief executive I wanted to talk about regulatory burden and institutional autonomy.
Or, if you prefer, “why does your governing body spend so much time on regulatory stuff?”
I know this is a favourite topic for debate.We launched our new OfS strategy in March, and we have been clear that our focus for the next three years will be on quality and standards; and equality of opportunity; and on the enabling regulation needed to make all of that work.
Quality and standards and equality of opportunity rightly get a lot of attention.
