Our regulatory decision-making policy is underpinned by our regulatory safety and security strategy and will be used across all areas of the organisation. It guides us in making good regulatory decisions in performing our regulatory role, and in using our regulatory tools.

The scope of regulatory decisions includes: system design and the legislation that governs the system, CAA focus areas, Engagement, information and education, certification and licensing, monitoring, investigations, security service delivery, and other regulatory action.
