05/10/2026 Article: ICO publishes Annual Report 2025/2026
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has published its annual report, containing details of its activities and financial statements between April 2025 and March 2026.
The report covers the last full year of the Information Commissioner’s Office, as the role and powers have now transferred to the Information Commission (as from 30 September 2026). Its head office has also moved from Cheshire to Manchester. It has decided still to refer to itself as the “ICO” (Information Commission’s Office), thus avoiding the need for them and us to update a pretty much infinite number of references to “ICO”.
The full annual report is available at www.ico.org.uk.
