The ICO has published a self-assessment risk tool to implement the Children’s Code. The Children’s code (or Age appropriate design code) is a data protection code of practice for online services, such as apps, online games, and web and social media sites, likely to be accessed by children.
This tool has been created with medium to large private, public and third sector organisations in mind.
From the moment a young person opens an app, plays a game or loads a website, data begins to be gathered. For all the benefits the digital economy can offer children, we are not currently creating a safe space for them to learn, explore and play. The Children’s code looks to change that, not by seeking to protect children from the digital world, but by protecting them within it.
This tool will help organisations to conduct their own risk assessment of how both the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Children’s code applies in the context of their digital services and give them practical steps for you to apply a proportionate and risk-based approach to ensuring children’s protection and privacy.
