What Does Better Regulation Mean for Consumers?
Improving regulated information is about making life easier for everyone, without removing the necessary protection that it provides.
The Better Regulation Executive (BRE) aims to make consumer information more accessible, so people can make better-informed decisions. This means producing information in clear, plain English and keeping it as short as possible, while retaining everything people need to make an accurate judgement.
Making life easier for consumers
The BRE is involved in a range of projects to help consumers access the information they need, without overwhelming people with unnecessary and complex detail.
Reducing smallprint, encouraging smarter print
In collaboration with the National Consumer Council, the BRE has made recommendations to increase the effectiveness of regulated information and ensure information is only used when it can help consumers make choices.
Consumer law review
This review considers simplifying consumer protection legislation in the UK and the European Union, improving the targeting of enforcement and increasing consumer empowerment.
