Activate BT Parental Controls
You will then see a page telling you that BT are activating your Parental Controls. You will be activated with the ‘light’ filter setting. Setup may take up to 2 hours.
Change your filters
Once activated, you will then be able to change your filter level to suit your family. You can choose from a range of filters such as Strict, Moderate and Light. There is also the ability to block individual categories or sites.
To help balance screen time, there is a Homework Time setting as well. It can block social media, gaming and homework cheat sites at certain times.
