Update from the Information Commissioner's Office 

John Edwards has joined the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as its new Information Commissioner. In his first 100 days, John is reaching out to a range of key stakeholders to hear different views on data protection.

The ICO has indicated it will soon be writing to newly formed organisations to remind them that they may have a legal responsibility to register with the ICO and pay the data protection fee.
