Parental Controls | Protecting our kids on the Internet

The video highlights the benefits of setting up Parental controls on the various platforms that our children are engaged on. e.g. Laptops, Tablets, Smartphones and Gaming consoles etc... Protecting our kids on the Internet is the clinics sole focus. All these platforms have access to the internet and pose risks to our children if they are not locked down properly... In the video, I highlight that parental controls are available by default on the platforms below 1. Smartphones and other devices e.g. Apple and Android Mobile Phones and Tablets 2. Entertainment & Search engines… Google, YouTube and Netflix 3. Broadband & mobile networks... EE, and BT 4. Social media... Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter If configured correctly, Parental Controls give parents control over what their kids see and do online or on their devices. They give power back to parents to protect their kids from the dangers of the internet.
