UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code): every control, and what you already have

20 controls 109 frameworks share controls with it United Kingdom verified against its source document

Every control below is one this framework asks for. The right hand column counts how many other frameworks in our corpus carry the same control, which is the difference between doing this work once and doing it again for the next standard.

There is no implementation kit for this framework yet. The control list and the overlap above are free and complete.
