For those of you who may not know.  My only comments is although I welcome this as a step in the right direction in terms of raising the profile of handling this type of information,

 How strong is the signal?? 

Will it be directly linked to enforcement if an organisation is found to have “broken its promise”?

 

I know its not Friday!

 

Many thanks

Regards
