The Information Commissioner’s Office

Southwark Council is a registered data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Our registration number is Z5394246. To view our registration, visit the ICO’s website.

For independent advice about data protection, privacy and data sharing issues, contact the ICO on their website. Alternatively, you can call them on 0303 123 1113.

In addition, you can contact the ICO if you remain unhappy with how the council has handled a:

  • Freedom of Information 2000 (FOI) request
  • Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) request
  • Subject Access Request
  • data breach
  • or any other request made under data protection legislation

The ICO will not normally look at a request until you have gone through the council’s information request and/or data breach procedures first. If you wish to raise a complaint to the council about the handling of an information request or data breach, contact our Data Protection Officer.
