- has launched an easy to use self-assessment tool for any organisation to demonstrate how they are meeting the principles in the code
- has continued work of his predecessor to simplify the CCTV standards framework in order to encourage the industry and operators of CCTV systems to meet minimum standards
- will be issuing guidance to users of domestic CCTV following his concerns about the growing number of complaints around the use of CCTV at people’s homes
