Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) You can enable Restrictions, also known as parental controls, on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Restrictions stop you from using specific features and applications. Learn more about the types of Restrictions and how to enable or disable them on your device.

Here is some great advice on restricting content on the iPad. Remember that if you have other devices on your iTunes account they all like to communicate with each other. This section of settings is important to get to know. - Open the ‘Settings’ app, tap on ‘General’ and then ‘Restrictions’. - On the next screen, tap ‘Enable Restrictions’ and you’ll need to enter a passcode. Given we have been asked not to have one you can create one here just for this kind of thing. Enter a 4 digit code (you will remember) twice. - You will be presented with an enormous list of options for restricting content. - In the 'Allow' section i would block everything except Siri and Camera but it depends on the age of your child. - In the ‘Allowed Content’section, you have fine-grained control over what apps and content your kids can use based on the iTunes Store’s ratings. Different types of content have different rating systems, so go through each category and see how finely you want to restrict things. - Most importantly, ***SWITCH OFF*** ‘In-App Purchases’.\ - There’s more that you can control (or choose not to) with ‘Restrictions'. Explore the options to keep your kids – and yourself – protected. Sourced from www.techlife.net/2013/08/how-to-child-proof-your-ipad.html

Youtube security.
Youtube is so much fun, can be educational and so great to get answers to things quick. But you should also look at restricting content.
You can restrict access to the kind of content your kids watch on YouTube via the app’s settings directly.
Youtube eats up data quick, watch your usage.
If you want to stop your kids watching YouTube, you can restrict access to it in the ‘Allowed Content’ section of the ‘Restrictions’ settings by allowing only apps rated up to ’9+’ (YouTube is rated ’12+’).

Within YouTube you can also turn the "Safety Mode" on - scroll down to the bottom of the YouTube page where it as the following below. You then click on "On" and not only does it filter most inappropriate content within the videos uploaded, but also in the ads that come up. But I say "most". Some still get through.
"Safety mode
Safety mode hides videos that may contain inappropriate content flagged by users and other signals. No filter is 100% accurate, but it should help you avoid most inappropriate content. Your safety mode setting will apply to this browser only. Sign in to enable safety mode everywhere you use YouTube.
On Off"
