<p>It is vital we have world-leading standards which protect children's privacy when
they are online. That is why we included provisions in the Data Protection Act 2018
requiring the Information Commissioner to produce the age- appropriate design code.
We are working closely with the Information Commissioner's Office as they finalise
the code and Ministers have met the ICO to discuss the development of the code.</p><p>
</p><p>The Act requires the Information Commissioner to submit the code to the Secretary
of State within 18 months of the Act being passed. Once submitted, we will lay the
code in Parliament as soon as reasonably practicable. We will work closely with the
ICO as they support industry to implement the code, to ensure that the code is a success
and delivers the protections that children deserve.</p><p> </p><p>The Information
Commissioner's Office will enforce the code and the underlying data protection standards
in line with its Regulatory Action Policy.</p>
