Part 5: Data Protection and Privacy Enforcement Section 99: Assessment notices: removal of OFSTED restriction
Section 99 removes the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills’ (Ofsted) exemption to the ICO's assessment notice power under section 147(6)(b) of the DPA 2018. This allows the ICO to audit Ofsted’s function as a registration authority in the event of a suspected data breach.
