Details
The Information Commissioner (IC) is the UK’s independent regulator for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, with key responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
As set out in Article 52 of the GDPR, the IC must be completely independent, remain free from external influence, whether direct or indirect, and neither seek nor take instructions from anybody in performing their tasks and powers as a national supervisory authority. This Management Agreement has therefore been developed in line with this requirement. The agreement has been drawn up by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in consultation with the IC.
