Restricting your devices
guides to setting parental controls
Keeping children safe online is an important part of modern family life, and parental controls can help create a safer and more positive digital experience at home. Whether your child is using a games console, tablet, mobile phone or computer, parental guidance settings allow you to manage screen time, restrict inappropriate content, control online purchases and monitor how devices are being used. These tools can support healthy online habits while helping children explore technology safely and responsibly.
The links below provide useful guidance on setting up parental controls across a range of popular devices and platforms, including Windows computers, gaming consoles, tablets, smartphones and streaming services. We encourage parents and carers to regularly review these settings and have open conversations with children about staying safe online, making positive choices and knowing what to do if something online makes them feel uncomfortable or worried.
