That glossary is from a chapter on the 'Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill'; 'The Child-ID Pipeline: Registers, Rights & Routes to Control'. It looks like they're already building the Digital ID system for the adults of the future, and this bill has come into effect in July 2025. Highly ominous. This reads like the Minority Report, but I doubt even changing your eyes will work because you have a biometrics token.

>This is not merely better data management. The Bill creates the legal and technical building blocks for: a routable national child identifier, persistent registries that include sensitive attributes, regulatory routes to force provider and contractor participation, and a low threshold for sharing that weakens confidentiality. Once identifiers and registers exist, they intersect with other systems: welfare, health, education databases, and any central trust framework that later standardises credentials and verification. That is the anatomy of mission creep: yesterday’s safeguarding file becomes tomorrow’s universal record, and universal records become the backbone of identity and access systems.

>This Bill is sold as better safeguarding, but it also builds a legal and technical path from local case records to a routable, regulated, indexed data architecture for children. The “consistent identifier” and the immunity from confidentiality for authorised disclosures are the exact tools you would design if your aim was to make every child’s record linkable, searchable and reusable across services. If you are worried about mission creep, privacy erosion, vendor lock and the normalisation of persistent identifiers, this Bill is an important tipping point. Read the receipts, note the pages I have quoted, and understand that once identifiers and registers are established and normalised by regulation, reversing the reach of the system becomes politically and practically very hard.
