In order to use the PlayStation Network Safety Settings, you must be over 18. Once you have created an account for yourself, you can then create sub-accounts on the Play Station Network for your children, which are then linked to your own account. This enables you to have full control over the various Parental Restrictions which can be placed on this sub-account, restricting how you child can interact across on the PlayStation platform and range of products.

The creation of your own PlayStation Network Account is a prerequisite for setting up Parental Controls on all PlayStation devices.
