We’re making our regulatory framework easier to access, understand and apply consistently.
A key initiative of our 2026–27 business plan is a programme of work to simplify how our framework is presented and maintained, so industry and other stakeholders can easily identify what applies and understand our intentions and expectations.
This page brings together the first steps in that work, including:
our approach to drafting regulatory material
our consultation charter
current guidance note updates and retirements
We will update it as the programme develops, so you can follow the main areas of work and tell us where the framework could be clearer or easier to use.
How we write our rules
Read about the standards we apply when drafting regulatory material.

What's next?
We will keep this page updated as the programme develops. Further improvements will be progressed through our normal policy and governance routes, based on evidence of where changes will make the biggest difference to access and clarity.
Tell us what you think
Let us know if there is a guidance note or area of the framework you find hard to navigate or interpret.
