The Principles for Better Regulation of Higher Education in the United Kingdom (November 2011) were developed by HEBRG and apply primarily to organisations that have a direct responsibility for regulating or holding to account any aspect of higher education provision offered by UK institutions.

HEBRG expects that regulators and funding bodies, government departments, sector-specifc agencies, professional, statutory and regulatory bodies and higher education providers within the scope of the proposed single regulatory framework will wish to commit wherever appropriate to the Principles.
