Child Profile

Summary

This profile is designed for the most restrictions on devices for our youngest. It is designed to give access to only a handful of apps on any device so it can be used for family communication, learning and development. In this profile our approach is to block all, and then selectively allow the apps and access appropriate for children.

In this profile the phone is placed in a ‘Kiosk’ mode which limits access right down to only the provided apps. There are a few options for phone apps however the intent is to minimise mobile phone usage and have learning and development occur on laptops and tablets. This encourages adult involvement and supported learning and starts children off using mobile phones for communication/safety.
