Statement by our Chairman Dr Robert Chilton
20 December 2010
Our Chief Executive Glenys Stacey is leaving the organisation at the end of February 2011 to take up a new position as Chief Executive of Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation.
Glenys has been Chief Executive here since the organisation became a strategic regulator, in May 2008. Under Glenys’ leadership the organisation has developed its regulatory philosophy and approach. Our achievements have included implementing the local arrangements (whereby local government manage the majority of complaints and investigations), halving the time we take dealing with those investigations we still do deal with here (because they are not suitable for resolution locally), reviewing the standards framework and making recommendations in a Proportionality Review to Government earlier this year on ways to simplify the regulatory framework for standards in local government, and transforming the way this organisation is configured and works, so that we could deliver more for less.
We wish Glenys all the best for the future, as she takes up a new role in a different field of regulation.
We intend to make arrangements internally to cover the vacancy that will arise when Glenys leaves.
