What are the terms and conditions for using the Parental Guidance Lock?

If you permit a child to use your computer you are solely responsible for determining whether the BBC content is appropriate for that child to view. BBC Parental Guidance Lock provides a way to help you control which Guidance-labelled BBC programmes may be played on your computer.

If you turn on BBC Parental Guidance Lock your computer will not be able to access Guidance-labelled programmes unless you type in a password. You can adjust the settings using the 'Parental Guidance' link at the bottom of any BBC web page that offers you a programme.

You can also set up a separate Parental Guidance Lock for downloads in BBC iPlayer Desktop. Please be aware that if you do not set up Parental Guidance Lock, any child using your computer will be able to view all programmes including Guidance-labelled programmes.
