YouTube Kids is made for children up to the age of 12. It gives parents and carers greater control over what their child sees than regular YouTube.

All the videos on it are meant to be suitable for children, but there have been reports of videos with upsetting content making it through. Share this factsheet with parents and carers to make them aware of this, and to help them keep their child safe.

You can share this factsheet however you think is best – whether that's by email, printing copies to hand out, or putting it on your school website. We just ask that you keep our logo on it, so it's clear that it was produced by The Key Safeguarding.

Helping schools get safeguarding right. Every time.
