Children’s Data and Age Assurance Checklist
About this document
Children’s data needs extra protection under UK data protection law, and online services likely to be accessed by children must follow the ICO’s Age Appropriate Design Code (the Children’s Code). This checklist helps clubs, tutors, childcare, leisure, retail and online businesses check what they collect, how they ask for consent, how they check age and how they explain things to children and parents.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
