What happened
The Government confirmed that the ICO will transition to the Information Commission on 30 September 2026. The change is mandated by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and its 2026 commencement regulations. Existing regulatory functions and the ICO name will be retained. Seven Non-Executive Members were appointed in July to the new Board and will assume roles on the transition date.
Why it matters
Stakeholders should note that the governance shift does not alter regulatory duties, but the new Board may influence future policy direction, so monitor board communications for emerging guidance.
