Children’s circumvention behaviours online

Imported from official source

Cybersecurity Classified by Officially

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned BMG Research to build an evidence base on how children aged 11 to 17 experience age assurance online.

  • how children experience age checks online, and how effective they think they are
  • the most common ways children get around age checks, and why
  • what motivates children to use virtual private networks (VPNs), and how they access them

    • The findings are intended to help DSIT and Ofcom understand children’s experiences of age assurance, circumvention and VPN use, and to inform future policy development.
