The Institute of Regulation (IoR) is a British membership organisation which promotes good practice in regulation through professional development, events, research and networking.[1]

Established in 2021, by 2024 the Institute's membership network extended to over 500 individuals, regulators, and regulatory experts. This includes roughly a quarter of UK regulatory bodies, 13 affiliate members from the commercial and third sectors, and over 150 global members.[2]

The institute is a charitable not-for-profit company, registered with Companies House (13628098).[3]

History

[edit]

The Institute grew out of an informal network of 35 non-financial regulators who began meeting in 2019. This group identified the opportunity to establish a formal professional body for the UK's 120+ regulators in order to share good practice and improve the process and quality of regulation.[5] The institute established peer-to-peer exchanges across regulatory domains and a network of diverse academic, expert, and regulatory practitioners to encourage debate on regulatory theory and practice. In 2024, the Institute published a guide to good regulation.[6]

The expertise of the Institute's network has been recognised in Parliament, and its written evidence to the Industry and Regulators Committee was cited in their 2024 report 'Who watched the watchdogs. [7] The Institute was invited by the UK Government to sit on its Regulation Council.[8][9]
