What is statutory guidance?1. Act
The Law
2. Regulations Detailed instructions on how law must be applied – “No choice”
3. Statutory Guidance Detailed guidance with a legal status on how law must be applied – “It’s expected
you will do this”
4. Practice Guidance, protocols Guidance and procedures (more flexible, with no “legal status”) designed to help
agencies, at a local level, comply with regulations and statutory guidance
