The next step I assume is banning VPN use for anyone under 18 in the UK, followed by only allowing academics or certain roles to use them.

Banning VPNs seems effectively impossible. Any ip address can act as a vpn. There are also zero identity providers like mullvad.

Deep packet inspection can detect VPNs. The problem may be more that people have legitimate uses for VPNs, like at their work. Those could be whitelisted though.
