ROF Programme Objectives
Develop and implement a new sustainable approach to regulation that leverages business behaviour change to deliver benefits for consumers. Design and implement a regulatory delivery model that ensures an effective approach to regulating food safety across the food chain, makes use of all available data and is financially sustainable in the long term.

ROF Timeline for Change
- Digital solution testing for registration &
segmentation
- Food Law Code of Practice – consultation on
segmentation proposals
- Enhanced registration pilot leading to go-live
in April 2019
- Draft sustainable funding proposal
- PA National Inspection Strategy trial
What we are doing
- Undertaking
research to improve insights into food business attitudes to registration.
- Developing a digital
platform for the registration of food businesses.
- Phased approach :
Discovery and Alpha phases completed.
Enhanced Registration
What is it?
- Knowing more
about businesses so that we can help new businesses to understand their responsibilitie s for producing food that is safe and what it says it is.
What’s Next?
- Beta phase – user
testing.
- Designing the process
for a new business start up.
- Developing a comms
strategy for driving businesses to enhanced registration to provide them with relevant advice for new businesses.
- Build strategic third
party alliances promoting need for registration. What difference will it make?
- FSA to have full
- versight of all food
businesses.
- LAs using their
resources to maximise public protection.
- Reassurance for
consumers that a robust system is in place.
- FBOs have a user
friendly process with easy access to tailored advice and support.
Enhanced Registration
What we are doing
- Engaging stakeholders
to change the way we assess food safety risks.
- Developing a data
driven approach to risk assessment.
- Targeting resource to
address the challenges that face those who have responsibility for food standards enforcement.
Segmentation
What is it?
- A new risk
management approach to determine the nature, frequency and intensity of the controls for food businesses subject to.
What’s Next?
- Engage FBOs, LAs and
regulators to discuss how the changes might work in practice.
- Survey other regulators to
identify best practice.
- Survey food standards
practitioners to understand current issues and what improvements could be made.
- Launch a project with LAs
to capture detailed food business data.
- Trial new approach to risk
assessment. What difference will it make?
- Regulators will be able to
better target their resources towards businesses that need the most support.
- Focus on those
businesses that refuse to fulfil their obligations.
- Businesses committed to
food safety will be recognised by the nature, frequency and intensity
- f regulatory oversight.
- Provide consumers with
more confidence in the regulation of FBOs.
Segmentation
What we are doing
- Testing the concept of
National Inspection Strategies with a group
- f Primary Authorities.
- Evaluate and determine
how National Inspection Strategies can be implemented within ROF.
- A challenge for NIS – to
consider how FHRS would operate for the premises that fall within an NIS.
- Developing guidance
with stakeholders for Primary Authorities who wish to develop an NIS for their partnerships.
National Inspection Strategies
What are they?
- Frequency, nature
and intensity of
- fficial controls for
a group of businesses will be determined by the Primary Authority.
- A Primary Authority
could decide that it has sufficient evidence that food safety is being well managed and consider that a more tailored style
- r reduced
number of regulatory interventions are warranted.
What’s Next?
- Establishing how the FSA
will maintain oversight of Primary Authorities who develop and implement an NIS.
- Developing an approach to
how NIS is aligned with the Food Law Code of Practice intervention rating scheme. What difference will it make?
- It will reduce the level and
frequency of intervention required from LAs at individual outlets freeing up resource to focus on poorly performing business.
- Reduces the regulatory
burden on a business when it has demonstrated compliance.
National Inspection Strategies
What we are doing
- Introducing more ways
for businesses to provide evidence they are doing the right thing.
- We are setting the
standards that regulated private assurance providers will have to meet.
- De-prioritising Certified
Regulatory Auditor (CRA).
Regulated Private Assurance
What is it?
- An expanded
formal and recognised role for the private assurance schemes already
- perating.
What’s Next?
- Working with British
Standards Institute (BSI) to formalise the FSA’s approach to setting standards.
- Defining what constitutes
competency in an assurance role. What difference will it make?
- Clearer standards that will
help PA professionals to meet our requirements.
- Compliant businesses
will have their PA formally taken into account by the regulator.
- Consumer protection to
be maintained.
Regulated Private Assurance
What is it?
- Businesses should meet
the costs of regulation, which should be no more than they need.
- Regulatory Futures Review
recommendations:
- a move to greater
regulated private assurance and earned recognition.
- the regulatory
model should be underpinned by full cost recovery for regulatory activities. What What we are doing
- Baselining costs cross
the food and feed delivery landscape
- Exploring funding models
used by other regulators
- Building knowledge base
- f other current funding
regimes
Sustainable Funding
What are they?
- Testing the ability of new
technologies to assist / predict / support food safety work What we are doing
- Three-month trial, five
businesses in the Cambridge area replacing paper-based food safety management with a digital solution
- Proof of Concept work on
data exchange between LAs & FSA
- Testing how data
gathered at registration can be shared with the regulator and cross- referenced against locally held records
Feasibility Studies – Tech
How can you get involved?
- We want to continue to listen to the views of those with an interest in food
standards and safety and to capture the insights and knowledge that already exists in an open and transparent way.
