The Fourth Licence represents a step‑change in the approach to regulating the National Lottery. It is centred on an outcomes‑focused approach to regulation and reflects the Statutory Duties of the Commission. This approach places increased responsibility and accountability on the Licensee to operate the National Lottery to achieve outcomes consistent with the National Lottery Act 1993.
In practice, increased Licensee ownership places greater emphasis on internal management and assurance, including Strategies, Policies, Processes and Procedures (SPPP) and broader aspects of outcomes delivery, which are used to provide Gambling Commission with assurance of compliance with the Fourth Licence, including through the provision of key assurance artefacts such as the Annual Assurance Statement and Annual Resilience Assurance Statement as required by the Fourth Licence.
Working for the Head of Regulatory Assurance, the Regulatory Assurance Manager will play a key role in helping the business maintain proportionate standards of regulatory assurance that support delivery of our commercial plans and regulatory outcomes.
