Opportunity for stakeholders to join the Regulating our Future programme Expert Advisory Panel.

The Regulating our Future programme is a critical strategic programme for the Food Standards Agency. It is central to our ability to fulfil our statutory purposes, public expectations in the future and to deliver our strategic plan.

To formalise the important role we expect stakeholders to play in helping us refine the blueprint and designing delivery options, we are establishing an Expert Advisory Panel. This will bring stakeholders from across business, other government departments and regulators together to ensure all points of view are heard and taken account of.

Provisionally we think the full panel will meet quarterly, however, given the range of issues that will have a bearing on this work, the Expert Advisory Panel may need to convene smaller, more specialist, working groups to examine specific issues, drawing on external expertise where appropriate.

We would like to receive expressions of interest from stakeholders in the following areas:

• Large business
• Medium business
• Small business
• Consumer organisations
• Accreditation schemes
• Local authority

Please state in no more than 250 words your experience, expertise and why you would like to be considered for the Panel.  

Travel and subsistence expenses will be covered.

Please see the May 2016 Board Paper for more information.

Closing date for expressions of interest is 15 July 2016. Please send your application to: FutureDelivery@foodstandards.gsi.gov.uk
