Children's Code hub

The Children’s Code (or Age Appropriate Design Code to give its formal title) 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.

It came into force on 2 September 2020 with a 12 month transition period to give organisations time to prepare.

The ICO is committed to supporting all organisations with advice and resources to help them achieve compliance by 2 September 2021.

ICO urges businesses to act now as Children’s Code comes into force in six months

Initial findings from industry research set up by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) shows that three quarters of businesses surveyed are aware of the Children’s Code.
