In recent years, research has been undertaken to investigate and analyse different measures for age assurance online.
As part of comprehensive EU efforts, as enshrined in the European Strategy for a Better Internet for Kids+ (the BIK+ strategy), the European Commission recently published a research report, Mapping age assurance typologies and requirements, that examines various types of age assurance and outlines ten essential requirements to consider when implementing age assurance tools.
Here, we make a range of resources available to place a spotlight on age assurance, for those with a general interest, along with easy-read explainers to help raise awareness in educational and family settings, and resources aimed at digital service providers to help them check their own compliance.
In this new series of resources, key messages, terms and approaches to age assurance are explained in an easy-to-read way.
An age assurance self-assessment tool manual and questionnaire are available for digital service providers.
