National Online Safety: What Parents and Carers Need to Know about Disney+

Each week we will be sharing content from National Online Safety to help spread awareness and provide useful tips for our parents and carers on different online platforms.

In 2019, media titan Disney launched its own streaming platform, intending to challenge the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime. Giving (often exclusive) access to shows and movies – such as the legendary studio’s animated classics and the revered Star Wars back catalogue – Disney+ has been a colossal success, proving popular with viewers of all ages. 

Despite Disney’s reputation for wholesome, child-friendly content, however, there’s far more material available on their platform – some of which is aimed exclusively at adults. This could easily fly under the radar, given the company’s general image.

This week's online safety guide examines the hugely popular streaming service Disney+ for potential risks, giving advice on how to avoid them, and to help your family sit back, relax and enjoy what Disney+ has to offer.
