This 4-day seminar brings together key elements from several different workshops previously offered by Professor Sparrow through The Hatchery and weaves them together into a coherent, broad, and content-rich introduction to the challenges of regulatory practice. The CIRRP seminar covers fundamental questions in regulatory design as well as examining specific contemporary puzzles currently demanding attention from Australasian regulatory bodies. It thus provides a suitable and thorough orientation for newcomers to the regulatory business, appropriate for practitioners at any rank—from the front line to the Boardroom, and every level of management in between.

The seminar also offers seasoned regulatory professionals an opportunity to examine the broad array of possibilities in terms of regulatory strategy and practice, and to use that richer picture as backdrop for reflecting on their own past experience and considering their future aspirations and plans.
