The Inquiry has now published its Protocol on Ciphering and Anonymity.
The Protocol sets out how ciphers will be used to protect the identities of victims and survivors who are entitled to anonymity. It also explains the treatment of other identifying information and the approach to requests from individuals who wish to be identified publicly.
The Inquiry anticipates that victims and survivors may have questions about the Protocol. To ensure that it reflects the needs and best interests of those it is intended to protect, the Inquiry welcomes any feedback or questions arising.
