ICO issues enforcement notice to South Wales Police over SAR delays

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has served an enforcement notice on South Wales Police (SWP) for delays in handling subject access requests (SARs) within the legal time limits. The ICO found infringements of Articles 12(3), 15(1) and 15(3) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation, together with section 45 of the Data Protection Act 2018. As a consequence, the notice requires SWP to:

  1. issue overdue SAR responses to 352 individuals by 1 June 2026;
  2. implement the recommendations in its Action Plan submitted to the ICO on 5 March 2025 by 1 June 2026; and
  3. amend internal systems, policies and procedures by 24 April 2026 to ensure future SARs are identified and answered in line with legal obligations.

Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues.
