Detection
Parent cannot identify the current Website restrictions, allowed/blocked sites, permissions or extension policy.
Fix (technical)
In the Family Link/Chrome management surface, review Google’s documented Website restrictions, Allow or block certain sites, Allow or block website permissions, and extension controls. [google-chrome-child-account]
Fix (relational)
Make a request list for sites needed for homework and agree how blocked sites can be discussed.
Residual risk
These cited controls concern Chrome and the managed account; do not infer identical coverage for every browser.
