Original consultation
Consultation description
The OISC has been undergoing a programme of transformation to embed advice seekers at the heart of its work.
In order to do this, and to ensure our regulation is flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the advice seeker and the wider immigration system, we are currently consulting on a new version of the OISCs Code of Standards.
This is your opportunity to share your thoughts; its really important that we hear from you so that you can help shape the new code.
The new version of the code aims for a less prescriptive, more principled-based regulatory approach with the necessary safeguards to ensure we can take swift, fitting action against anyone who undermines the reputation and quality of advice and services within the immigration sector.
If you have any thoughts about this approach and how it will work in practice for you, your organisation and the wider sector, please take the time to respond to the amended code.
The consultation will close on 23 October 2023.
