Help with child accounts and profiles

Updated: 6 April 2021

麻豆官网首页入口 child accounts

Children of any age can set up a 麻豆官网首页入口 account. But to keep them safe, kids under 13 need permission from a parent or guardian before they can do certain things, like commenting on message boards.

You can set permissions when you first register a new child account. Just follow the instructions.

If you want to manage permissions at a later date, the easiest way is if you both have 麻豆官网首页入口 accounts. That way, you can link your child's account to your own and set permissions from there at any time. If you don鈥檛 have your own 麻豆官网首页入口 account you can register for one. It鈥檚 quick and easy to do.

But you don't need a 麻豆官网首页入口 account to manage permissions. When your child tries to do something new on the 麻豆官网首页入口, like commenting on children's websites, we鈥檒l ask them to get you involved to approve this. You鈥檒l either get an email, or you can .

Child profiles on iPlayer

On iPlayer, children can sign in with their own 麻豆官网首页入口 account. Or, as a parent or guardian, you can add child profiles to your account instead.

Find out more about getting started with the kids鈥� experience on iPlayer.

Child profiles only show iPlayer content for under-13s, so your kids can browse safely. As with an account, a profile means they鈥檒l get personalised recommendations, and be able to pick up shows where they left off.

Unlike an account, it only works on iPlayer, and they won鈥檛 be able to use features of 麻豆官网首页入口 websites like commenting, voting, entering competitions. However, you can always create a child account to give them extra permissions.

If you鈥檙e under 16 and outside the UK鈥�

Unfortunately, you won鈥檛 be able to register a 麻豆官网首页入口 account or profile if you're outside the UK and under 16. If you鈥檙e outside the UK and already have a child account, it won't provide access to the same child-specific content available in the UK.
