Data protection complaint handling approach – Draft Impact Assessment - August 2025

This draft impact assessment accompanies our proposed changes to how we handle data protection complaints. It sets out our initial impact findings, alongside the consultation on draft changes to how we handle data protection complaints and our proposed framework to assess and determine the extent to which it is appropriate to investigate each complaint. It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive assessment; we will develop our analysis further as we move towards publication of the final approach, based on any additional information and feedback received through the consultation process. We are seeking feedback on this draft impact assessment, as well as any other information and insights stakeholders can provide on impacts through the consultation process.

You can respond to the consultation via our survey on Citizen Space.
