Does anyone have any recommendations for installing blockers on kids devices to prevent them accessing content they shouldn’t??
I have a couple of pre teens who are exploring the web on IPads and I would like to have some semblance of restriction to avoid them stumbling onto stuff not suitable.
Thanks.

Whatever measures you take your kids will find a work-around if they're keen enough.

I'm not a parent but unless they had a real problem maybe trust them but monitor what they're looking at and discuss it with them if it pops up they're looking at things you'd rather they didn't. If they wanna view something enough they'll find a way without you knowing - 100-1 they got a friend with access.

Education over prohibition. But it must be a minefield dealing with kids and internet. Don't envy that situation for a second. Good luck.

Did a quick browse. This article, published on 4 days ago may offer you some useful advice -

This one's a little older but may be useful too (mainly cause it tries to walk you through some of the steps) - https://www.gottabemobile.com/how-to-set-up-ipad-parental-controls-and-content-filtering/
