How do I use parental guidance?

Setting up a parental guidance lock is the best way to control what younger people have access to on the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds website. The parental guidance lock will restrict access to programmes which display aÌýguidanceÌýwarning to ensure younger audiences can’t listen to inappropriate content.

If a programme has been flagged with guidance, it will feature a clear label and a ‘G’ symbol. Ìý
