Consultation response: our new approach to enforcement
Summary
The pensions landscape is changing, and so must we. While our current approach has delivered important enforcement outcomes, we recognise the need to adapt.
Our new enforcement strategy reflects an important shift in how we regulate. It introduces a more focused, agile, and outcomes-driven model, aligned with our statutory objectives, our corporate priorities, and our shift toward a more prudential style of regulation. It marks a deliberate move toward smarter, collaborative, and risk-based interventions that deliver real-world results.
We are seeking views from across the industry to test the clarity of our approach to ensure it is proportionate, transparent, and effective. Your feedback will play a vital role in refining the strategy, helping us to strengthen workplace pensions for the future.
We want to understand if the new enforcement strategy is:
- clear and accessible
- proportionate and transparent in how we approach, prioritise, and use our powers to enforce
- effective in delivering good outcomes for savers
- visible and free from regulatory gaps
