What are parental controls?

Quite simply, parental controls are tools that allow parents to manage their children’s device use and internet access.
Parental controls may be set at the network level - for example, to manage all devices connected to your home WiFi, whether mobile devices, PCs, smart TVs or gaming consoles.
They may be set on the device itself - whether smartphone, tablet or laptop - to allow parents to manage that device no matter where it is or how it connects to the internet.
Family Zone’s trusted parental controls handle all of these functions, simply and seamlessly.
How do parental controls work?
In the simplest terms, parental controls allow parents to manage what children do online, and when they do it.
Parental controls can;
- Filter and block inappropriate content, for example violence and pornography
- Set time limits and daily routines for online activity
- Selectively block or allow individual apps and games
- Locate devices
- Set different profiles so that each family member has an access level that is appropriate to them

There is no doubt that protecting and regulating our kids’ online activity is one of the major challenges of today. I urge all parents to engage in their kids’ online world. Installing parental controls is a key step forward.
Internet Safe Education
Parents have a right to know where their children go and who they communicate with. Parents whose family have been devastated by online issues who now use monitoring or filtering software would do anything to turn back time . They have told me so. Family Zone is an essential piece of the cyber safety formula.
