@botvolution@mastodon.sdf.org @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk @cyberleagle@mastodon.social It says in the consultation “Making the digital ID available for those aged 13 and over could help address these inclusion concerns by being free for children to access and use. It could help services to accurately distinguish a child’s age or age group between 13-17 and thereby deliver more tailored and age-appropriate experiences” https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/making-public-services-work-for-you-with-your-digital-identity/making-public-services-work-for-you-with-your-digital-identity.
