About ORR

Workforce information is sent to the Cabinet Office regularly and it includes the number of staff by grade, payroll and non-payroll.

In line with all Civil Service departments, we are required to submit a summary of our employee absence statistics to the Cabinet Office and to publish the figures on a quarterly basis.

We work closely with expert panels and other bodies both in the UK to ensure our regulatory approach is built on expertise, cutting-edge thinking and best practice.

Our enforcement powers are established by legislation.

We are governed by a board responsible for setting our strategy and overseeing its delivery.

ORR's strategic objectives.

We are maintaining effective, independent safety oversight as industry structures change, ensuring the continued delivery of our statutory health and safety responsibilities while enabling a safe transition to GBR.

We are creating a Retail Code of Practice that will apply to GBR in its future role managing market-wide retail systems while also operating as an online ticket retailer. This new framework will support the Government’s objective of ensuring a fair and open online ticket retailing market.

We are shaping how we will work alongside the new watchdog to protect passenger interests and maintain effective consumer oversight.
