I'd often wondered - not having kids myself - up to what age
are they incapable of removing a dummy plug or whatever?

There is no particular age. Some kids can do things like
read and talk and walk etc well before others can.

Right. So precautions should be taken with any offspring living at home
regardless of age?

And is it more difficult to remove one than to plug something in?

Likely it is, if only because they don’t have
the cord that can help with removing it.

UK plugs have side entry flex. Which makes it difficult to remove them
with it.

Its also rather easier to put one in that to remove one too.

Is it?

Also, since pretty well all sockets are shuttered,
what purpose does a dummy plug really serve?

That’s certainly a valid point.
