HEBRG is working to support better regulation in the higher education (HE) sector.  We promote positive regulation that is based upon the five principles of good regulation.  These state that regulation is transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent, and targeted where action is needed.

HEBRG takes into account current and emerging views on regulation and supports public engagement in this area.

Our current work includes:

• working with the sector and regulators to review the regulatory and accountability framework for HE 
• supporting engagement between the sector and professional, statutory and regulatory bodies
• reviewing the impact on institutions of complying with the points-based system for immigration (Tier 4) 
• revising and updating the Higher Education Concordat
• engaging with the wider better regulation agenda
