Web safe not working when enabled

[Rangnarok]

Unlike some posts here, I want Child Safe to work.

It's been on since the start. However, it seems to have stopped since a few days ago. I thought it was my phone at first, but now I am testing on the PC, it turns out this is to do with the Child Safe feature not working.
I've tried a router reboot but that has not fixed it.

Despite the options showing as enabled on the Account Settings page, I can still access
- Inappropriate sites that are included as default
- Sites that I added in manually

I am not on any VPN. All my network settings on the PC is automatic, so DNS is default. I changed to Virgin DNS manually too, but that still doesn't work.

Tried from my mobile, with all default settings, doesn't work. Set DNS server to VM's one: doesn't work either.

Please could you check my account and get this sorted.

Just to close this out, a member of the team reaching out to me, asking to confirm account number, bill etc. But after a few days, Web Safe worked again without anything done in the background.

I still want to know why it happens in the first place, as this is a critical glitch regarding web safety.

Hi, my child safe is not working and I want this to.  I have small children at home and need this to be working correctly as selected. 

We have tried deselecting and reselect but has not worked.  

Please can you correct this urgently. 

Thanks
