Here is a complete step by step guide of how you can set up Microsoft 365 Family Safety for your child.
PART 1: Setting up Microsoft 365 Family
Step 1: Create a microsoft account for you as a parent.
Go to https://www.microsoft.com >> Sign in >> „New to Microsoft? Create an account„
Step 2 (optional): Get a Microsoft 365 Family subscription
The basic Microsoft Family Safety version is supposed to be free. In order to use all Microsoft Family Safety features you will need to purchase a Microsoft 365 family subscription. I already had a subscription so I don’t have experience with the free version, but according to PC Mag and other sources the basic functions should work well in the free version.
To buy a subscription, log in to your microsoft account and follow the instructions there. It is 99 € per year and you can share the licence with up to 5 members of your family (so with you 6 in total). In this way all of you can use typical Office apps like Word, PowerPoint etc. too.
Step 3: Create a Microsoft account for your child
To create an account for your child, log in to your Microsoft account, scroll down to the card „Family“ >> View your family
