Monitor and resource Ofcom to manage potential increased international complaints under the fairness and privacy code.
Recommendation
As the fairness and privacy code will enable complaints coming from outside the UK, this could have significant resource implications for Ofcom. It is not possible to gauge in advance the likelihood of this happening, but should it become onerous then Ofcom would need to be resourced to meet this increased demand. We recommend that the Government should monitor the extent to which the fairness and privacy code is requiring Ofcom to manage complaints from abroad and resource it accordingly.
