Although the kids section of Sky Q is great, there’s nothing stopping them from putting something inappropriate on if you leave them with the remote – be it an accident or not. Find out more about Sky Kids TV.
Fortunately, the Safe Mode locks them into that kid section of the service and works on all Sky Q boxes including the Sky Q mini. It filters live channels and other content, plus will change the picture-in-picture you’ve got in the top right if you happen to be watching something not child friendly, giving you peace of mind.

You’re now in Kids Safe Mode and the Sky Q box will be locked to this until you select Safe Mode again and enter that PIN a second time. Don’t worry if you’re kids think they’re tech savvy because even rebooting or resetting the box won’t work.
As well as this handy mode on the Sky Q box, you can also take advantage of the Sky Q Kids App – either around the house or when you’re out and about. It’s available on iOS and Android and allows your children, if you have more than one, to have their own profiles.
