Watch our October update

Thanks to everyone who joined our October quarterly update.

Our Chief Executive, Sarah Gillies, opened the session with an overview of how the Authority has reprioritised its work programme and our priority projects for 2024/25.

“The rapid change in our sector places demands on the Authority to change the rules, and also to change the way we regulate - to be genuinely open, accessible and supportive of new ideas, to accelerate innovation and enable change. We’ve prioritised our work programme to align with our vision and strategic outcomes, and respond actively to industry developments and new information."
