What does the European General Data Protection Regulation mean for children in the UK?: Report on an LSE Media Policy Project roundtable

On 20 November 2017, a roundtable discussion chaired by Sonia Livingstone was held at LSE to explore how the European General Data Protection Regulation's new requirements will affect both children and the organisations that process their data. It built on a previous discussion held soon after the GDPR was published, and began the consultative process for the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) guidance by identifying a range of issues, priorities, common ground and differences of opinion. This short report focuses on the key points and issues that arose. Representatives from various sectors were invited to participate in the meeting, and they are referred to by sector in this report: the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), academia, NGO, consumer advocacy, legal opinion, intergovernmental organisation (IGO), and Industry The Chatham House rule applied.
