With most entertainment content such as films, TV programmes, and games now being accessed over the internet, children are now able to watch content wherever and whenever they’re online. To make sure they don’t stumble across things they shouldn’t, you can use our parental control guides to set the right controls on their sites and apps to keep them safe. You will be able to filter out certain types of search results on search engines like Bing, Google, Safari, and Yahoo. This means you can limit your child’s exposure to adult content such as pornography, or limit the amount of time they spend online. You’ll find the options for each provider by looking for the cogwheel “settings” sign. You can also urge your child to use more secure search engines, such as Google.
Both Bing and Google SafeSearch can help you block inappropriate or explicit images from your search results. The SafeSearch filter isn’t 100% accurate, but it helps you avoid the most violent and adult content.
