Parental controls on Android

[lasrever]

Thanks in advance for any useful advice

I would like to know if it is possible to lock a phone down. I would like to be able to block the installation of any new apps. I would like to be able to block all access to the internet browser whilst being able to allow access to social media apps like facebook/whatsapp etc.

I dont mind if its paid but obviously prefer free

This guide from the online help site is a good source on parental controls:
