Mudeford Junior School Online Safety Newsletter April 2026
Thu 26 Mar 2026Mudeford Junior School Online Safety Newsletter April 2026
Age ratings exist to help protect your child as they show whether content is suitable for your child’s age. Make sure you check the age rating of any game your child is playing.
Why should I check?
Not all games will be appropriate for your child. Some may appear child friendly due to fun or cartoon style graphics but still include unsuitable content. Age ratings consider factors such as violence, frightening content, bad language and/or in app purchases.
How can I check?
Most games are rated by PEGI (Pan European Game Information), who not only state the age you should be to play the game but also provide further content descriptors to give you an indication of the type of content that your child might encounter. Apps are rated by the App store/Google Play.
How can I stop my child from accessing a game they are not old enough to play?
You can set up parental controls to restrict access to games or apps that your child is not old enough to play and set restrictions so any downloads/ purchases must be approved by you. For example:
- Nintendo – restrict software by age so if you restrict to 10+, games with that rating or above cannot be played by your child.
- Xbox / PlayStation – set an age limit so anything that exceeds that age rating must be approved.
-
Apple / Google (Family Link) – restrict your child from installing apps, allowing you to review before approving all purchases.
