Summary
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. At present, the Shadow Football Regulator comprises over 30 members of staff, led by an interim Chief Operating Officer, undertaking a range of activities in preparation for passage of the Football Governance Bill, which is currently in Parliament.

- Working with the Senior Correspondence Adviser to draft and quality assure responses on a range of issues including potentially complex queries, coordinating input from teams across the Regulator.
- Providing guidance on the tone and content of responses to correspondence, ensuring accurate messaging.
- Identifying and monitoring trends, reporting on these to i) support improved processes and ii) identify any issues (including flagging to senior management where needed).
- Contribute to the continued development of the correspondence function, ensuring an effective service.
