Our purpose

Television Watch is an independent informational project for parents, caregivers, and educators who want a clearer view of family media.

What this site covers

We focus on three connected questions: what a rating means, what the viewing controls can do, and how families can talk about what they watch. Our main pages bring the basics together and point to the original sources.

We do not assign ratings, operate streaming services, or handle account problems. Questions about a particular service or rating decision should go to the responsible provider or ratings organisation.

How we prepare information

  • Start with identifiable sources. Ratings information comes from the ratings body; platform features are checked against official help documentation.
  • Separate explanation from advice. We distinguish what a tool offers from practical suggestions a household may choose to try.
  • Make limitations visible. A rating or restriction cannot account for every child, device, or situation.
  • Use honest attribution. We do not invent expert credentials, testing results, or endorsements.
  • Correct specific errors. When reporting an issue, include the page address and a reliable source where possible.

A note about this domain

This domain previously hosted TV Watch, a coalition associated with television parental controls and broadcasting-policy advocacy. The current Television Watch project is independent of that former organisation.

We do not claim continuity with its team, memberships, policy positions, or endorsements. We are also independent of the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board and the platforms linked from this site.

Corrections and enquiries

If something is unclear or out of date, please use the contact page. Include the relevant URL, explain the issue, and link to the original information if you have it.
