The rapid evolution of the digital landscape necessitates robust and ethical standards for online age assurance to safeguard individuals, particularly children, while respecting privacy and facilitating legitimate access to services. As regulatory bodies globally, including those in the UK, EU, and Australia, increasingly mandate age-appropriate access and "highly effective age assurance" for online platforms, the need for clear, practical, and interoperable standards becomes paramount.

This position paper, informed by extensive experience and drawing on detailed insights into the implementation and challenges of age assurance technologies, advocates for an approach that prioritises a diverse range of flexible tools, anchored in transparency, independent auditing, and user-centric design.
