With technology being such a common part of everyday life, it’s important to put certain boundaries in place to protect kids from mature websites and whatnot. If you’re a concerned parent and happen to have Microsoft 365, you actually have a wide variety of applications available to you, including something called Family Safety. Family Safety is a Microsoft hub that allows parents to set limits on their child’s technology use. There are a few ways to access this app. All you have to do is just follow these simple steps.
