LEEDS BASED

Directorate

Prudential Policy Directorate are responsible for designing, negotiating internationally and implementing effective prudential regulation in order to remove or reduce systemic risks, promote the safety and soundness of PRA-regulated firms and ensure appropriate protection for insurance policyholders. PPD supports both the Prudential Regulation Committee and Financial Policy Committee in fulfilling their objectives.

Divisions

The Insurance Policy Division (IPD) is responsible for domestic and international insurance policy across the full prudential framework.

Domestically, IPD leads policy development under Solvency UK, covering both Pillar 1 and Pillar 2, and is now focused on implementation, transition and ongoing evolution of the regime, including capital, risk management, governance and supervisory expectations.

Internationally, IPD represents the PRA in shaping global insurance standards and policy frameworks. This includes work through the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) on the Insurance Capital Standard (ICS), Common Supervisory Framework (ComFrame), and the Holistic Framework for the assessment and mitigation of systemic risk, as well as broader international regulatory cooperation and engagement with key jurisdictions and bodies.

The Strategy & Policy Approach Division (SPAD) sets the overall strategy and approach for prudential policymaking in line with our vision for strong, accountable, responsive and accessible regulation. The division also supports PPD on the identification, selection and delivery of policy priorities. Responsibilities include ensuring a credible smarter regulatory framework, re-designing the policymaking approach under that framework, ensuring policy is appropriately grounded in economic analysis, and making progress on a clear and coherent UK PRA rulebook. The division also covers horizon scanning for microprudential risks, as well as PPD’s broader international strategy and co-ordination.

Our Approach to Inclusion
The Bank values diversity, equity and inclusion. We play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve.

At the Bank of England, we want all colleagues to feel valued and respected, so we're working hard to build an inclusive culture which supports people from all backgrounds and communities to be at their best at work. We celebrate all forms of diversity, including (but not limited to) age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. We believe that it’s by drawing on different perspectives and experiences that we’ll continue to make the best decisions for the public.
