Part 5: The Information Commissioner Section 123: Age-appropriate design code
This section places an obligation on the Commissioner to publish and keep under review an age-appropriate design code of practice.
	Subsections (1) and (2) require the code to contain guidance on standards of age appropriate design for online services which are likely to be accessed by children. The Commissioner can also make amendments to the code or prepare a replacement code should this be necessary.
	Subsection (3) requires that in preparing the code the Commissioner must consult the Secretary of State and other such persons as the Commissioner considers appropriate, including children, parents, persons who represent the interests of children, child development experts and trade associations.
	Subsection (4) requires that in preparing the code the Commissioner must take into account the fact that children have different needs at different ages. The Commissioner must also take into account the United Kingdom’s obligations under the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child.
	Subsections (5) and (6) allow the Commissioner to include transitional provisions or savings in the code, but require that any transitional provisions included in the initial code cease to have effect within a year of the code coming into force.
	Subsection (7) outlines definitions for "age-appropriate design", "information society services", "relevant information society services", "standards of age-appropriate design of relevant information society services", "trade association" and "the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child".
