Information Commissioner's Office: Pay
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what recent steps the Information Commissioner has taken to link (a) bonuses and (b) pay rises for staff who meet Equality, Diversity and Inclusion objectives.
- Answer
-
The ICO is responsible for its own staffing, pay and operational decisions. It is an independent regulator accountable to Parliament.
The ICO does not pay bonuses and there have not been any recent changes to pay arrangements linked to the ICO's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion objectives. Since 2024, the ICO's Career Banding framework, which is the mechanism through which staff can access in-grade promotion, has been linked to the ICO’s values, one of which is inclusion.
