Safeguarding Identity Strategy launched

Nigel Harper, 29 June 2009

Recognising the huge value and importance of individuals' identity information and tackling variations in how information is used across Government, 'Safeguarding Identity' is the focus of a new strategy launched today, 23 June 2009. The initiative has been led by IPS on behalf of Government and involved more than 12 departments and agencies. Building on a wide range of work already underway (including Directgov and the National Identity Service), it aims to deliver a common framework for the use and handling of individuals' identity information.
