Regulation and self-regulation
Regulation generally aims to correct distortions or imbalances
in public and private sector markets by, for example;
-
setting and enforcing standards,
-
promoting competition,
-
rooting out fraud,
-
enhancing safety.
The SCC examines how regulation, both statutory and voluntary, works in a range of areas to help consumers in Scotland. These areas include:
- education,
- local government
- utilities,
- housing,
- health,
- care,
- legal affairs.
