Policy

The Council actively engages with a wide range of stakeholders – from across government, regulators, industry and the voluntary sector – to positively influence the development of public policy, raising the profile of the opportunities that equity release can provide.

Key activities include direct engagement with ministers and parliamentarians, delivering keynote speeches at industry events and representing the views of the equity release sector through Council responses to consultations.

Members are encouraged to input into these policy submissions via the Respond button within each consultation. Please note, the closing date for member responses will be set a minimum 48 hours before the submission deadline to allow time to coordinate comments.
