Challenges

A big rensponsibility, high profile challenges

Our mission is to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals.

Our Olympic challenge

Our vision describes the challenge we have set ourselves: By 2012 we will be recognised by our stakeholders as the authoritative arbiter of information rights, delivering high-quality, relevant and timely outcomes, responsive and outward-looking in our approach, and with committed, high-performing staff – a model of good regulation and a great place to work and develop. It’s our Olympic challenge.

Enforcing the law

As we also need to ensure that those who flout the laws don’t get away with it - we adopt a targeted and risk based approach to enforcement. We are tough on those who deliberately or persistently fail to deliver the benefits intended by law.

High profile challenges

In our world there is always a new challenge just around the corner. Read our News section to discover how we have tackled some of the most high profile issues.
