answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recognise the challenges facing organisations across the UK economy in their preparations for the Data Protection Bill and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The ICO is leading on providing guidance and support to UK organisations and have already published a number of resources on the Commissioner's website (<a href="http://ico.org.uk/" target="_blank">ico.org.uk</a>) to help organisations prepare. The ICO has: launched a dedicated helpline service for smaller organisations; updated its 'SME toolkit' to reflect the requirements of the GDPR; simplified its &quot;12-step&quot; GDPR preparation guidance; and published tailored guidance for charities. There is still more to do in this space and the Government will continue to support the ICO to ensure the UK is prepared.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 10/01/2018 16:45:34 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
