Welcome to the second edition of The Commonwealth Quarterly

It’s no less promising than the first, with Kevin Arkwright and Jeffrey Goldberger on good faith; Nicki Milionis on trends in workplace health and safety; Peter Mulligan and Lauren Holz on privacy; Alexandra Holland on public interest certificates; and Catherine Whitby on why Commonwealth agencies should take data management seriously.
So grab a coffee, find a cozy spot, settle down and enjoy the read – and if you have any thoughts or suggestions for future issues, please let us know.
