Answer:

The Data Fiduciary must adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the person giving consent is the parent or lawful guardian and is an identifiable adult. This can be done by checking reliable identity and age details already available with the fiduciary, or details voluntarily provided, or a virtual token mapped to such details issued by an authorised entity such as a Digital Locker service provider.
