As a member of the Institute of Regulation, you are invited to join this session which is available to all members – affiliate, corporate and individual.
Held under the Chatham House rule, we invite you to join the quarterly forum with resilience experts from Cabinet Office and regulatory leaders.
This session will be hosted by Michael Hanton, Deputy Chief Regulator, Ofqual and speakers Matthew Clarke, Director of Resilience, Cabinet Office and Caroline Field, PA Consulting.
We face an increasingly volatile, uncertain, and changing environment - from climate change, cyber-attacks, crisis affecting global supply chain. It’s a government priority to build greater resilience into all aspects of society, and to take a whole society and preventative approach to this.
Regulation will play an important role in developing resilience. Many regulators are well placed to be influential in achieving this, certainly those that regulate critical national infrastructure, but all regulators instinctively view their sector(s) through the lens of risk.
This session an opportunity for members of the Institute of Regulation to learn more about government’s thinking on resilience and to consider the implications for regulation and regulatory practice today.
In this session delegates will be invited to explore the following questions:
What do you consider to be the role of regulation in securing greater national resilience today?
What will enable regulators to promote greater resilience?
How might regulators and government support emerging good practice?

Changing attitudes to AI in public services and how to respond
As a member of the Institute of Regulation, you are invited to join this session which is available to all members – affiliate, corporate and individual.
Held under the Chatham House rule, we invite you to join this webinar exploring how attitudes to AI are changing and how might regulators respond.
‘Changing attitudes to AI in public services and how to respond’
The government’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) white paper put the onus on regulators to realise the opportunities and manage the risks of AI. And there will continue to be significant pressure to use new technology, including AI, to support higher productivity and public service reform.
Regulators are working to understand how the sector they regulate may deploy AI and the extent to which this challenges their established regulatory approach and to build the capacity and capability to respond.
Ipsos and Nous have been working to understand how the public is responding to AI, its uptake across the public sector and what regulators can do to respond
Drawing on analysis from recent polling, AI experts and long-term trends, Ipsos will share insights on public attitudes and the use of AI in public services, specifically:
The level of AI skills in society and work
The public mood on new technology and innovation, including AI
The role of AI in public services, including expert perspectives and which use cases the public is more or less comfortable with
How to build public trust in technology innovation.
Nous will share insights on building capacity and capability from an organisational perspective: AI offers opportunities to improve operational performance – doing more for less and exploiting opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of their regulatory toolkit. However, the expertise to do this is scarce, so they need to prioritise where to invest, and build the capability within the organisation. With expertise in public service, Nous will share insights on:
Understanding how much AI will impact regulators’ operating mode and regulatory role.
Analysing capability gaps.
Growing regulators’ capacity and capability.
We’d be grateful if you would express interest your interest to attend by Friday 31 May,
