Details

The Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum (DRCF) workplan for 2021/22 sets out a road map for how Ofcom, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) will greatly increase the scope and scale of cooperation through the DRCF to strengthen their ties, pool expertise and resources, and work more closely together on online regulatory matters of mutual importance.   

DRCF will update our workplan and report on progress in 12 months’ time.  

To help us effectively prepare for these new responsibilities, our workplan focuses on three priority areas:  

  • responding strategically to industry and technological developments
  • developing joined-up regulatory approaches
  • building shared skills and capabilities.

In addition to this work, we will also be taking steps to strengthen our wider stakeholder engagement and transparency, and to further develop the functioning of the DRCF to support our ambitions. This includes:

  • building clarity through collective engagement
  • developing the DRCF and its operational capabilities
