The Information Commissioner's Office contribution to the DRCF's budget for 2022-23 financial year was £81,754. This does not include costs for DRCF secondee roles funded by the ICO.

The Information Commissioner's Office provided three employee secondee roles to the DRCF over the 2022-23 financial year.
