Parental Guidance Lock

Parental Guidance Lock

The BBC has developed the Parental Guidance Lock as a safeguard to help you control which BBC programmes may be accessed on your computer.

If you turn on Parental Guidance Lock, your computer will not be able to access Guidance-labelled programmes unless you first type in a password. What are guidance labels?

If you forget your password, we can email it back to you. We won't use this email address for anything else.

Please note the Parental Guidance Lock only applies to selected programmes which are Guidance-labelled content which are available for click to play streaming. If you wish to download content using the BBC iPlayer Download Manager then the PIN protection mechanism is available to offer the same level of protection.
