LBRO projects
We pursue our three main objectives through a series of linked programmes. We seek to guide progress, by giving practical assistance and providing tools that help create the conditions for system-wide better regulation. Our approach is in accordance with the Concordat signed by HM Government and the LGA in 2007. It is the right of central government to set national policies and the right of councils to address the priorities of their communities. Both share the objectives of nurturing business and creating prosperity.
Background on Primary Authority and professional competency is available here, together with associated resources for local authorities, while links to our other projects follow. The information on these is in a separate section of our site: Resources for Regulators. Its content is organized in accordance with the LBRO and LGR Excellence Framework: the first national consensus concerning the characteristics of good regulatory services, and the use of self-assessment and peer challenge to drive innovation.
