ICO Corporate Strategy consultation

Overview

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.

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

This survey on the ICO draft corporate strategy will remain open until 23:59 [BST] on 23 August 2026. We may not consider responses that are received after this deadline. The survey should take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. 

Read the new draft strategy here: ICO Corporate Strategy

The survey is structured as follows: 

• Background information about you. 
• Your views on our purpose, strategic outcomes, regulatory and transformation priorities.  

If you have any questions or difficulties, please contact: Strategyfeedback@ico.org.uk
