Despite many posts criticising the recommendations, the ICO _doesn't recommend age verification_ as a solution.
From the actual document:
> 2. Age-appropriate application: Consider the age range of your audience
and the needs of children of different ages. Apply the standards in this
code to all users, unless you have robust age-verification mechanisms to
distinguish adults from children.
The commissioner is saying that the companies should make the sites adhere to the rules covering children, with a get out IF some new age verification system could be developed.
