A discussion on the key findings and recommendations from defenddigitalme's new report, a reflection on the Best Interests of the Child UNCRC principle in the context of the Age Appropriate Design Code.

We cover lots of questions that our panel discuss - Can the Right to Object in data protection law ever work for school children? How can school staff have clarity, confidence and consistency in the procurement decisions they are making? Is there progress in developing technical standards and tools to enable choice and control? Can children realise their rights, and how might the Code help or hinder them and their families?
