The ICO wants to hear your views on its draft corporate strategy. 

In June 2025, the UK Data Use and Access Act confirmed the ICO’s transition from a single Information Commissioner model to a Commission structure with a non-executive Chair, Board and separate CEO. 

This change modernises the ICO, strengthening resilience and bringing greater diversity to its strategic direction. 

This strategy aims to provide a bridge from the present Information Commissioner's Office "ICO25" strategy to our future Information Commission governance model. It provides direction and clarity to ICO stakeholders and staff during an important transition for the organisation.  

We are seeking views from all interested parties, including members of the public, organisations, stakeholders and parliamentarians, to gather feedback views on our draft purpose, strategic outcomes, and regulatory and transformation priorities. 

We will review responses to help us finalise the plan before it is published. Individual responses will not be identifiable.
