@DianaEliasova you can add web addresses to the Sky Broadband Shield which will block access for any devices on your network see here https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-broadband-shield-start

 

However it is a blunt tool and may not work with all apps as they can by pass the DNS system Sky uses for the Shield. Many   Sites have multiple addresses and you may have to add multiple variations. Having good parental control software is a better solution and using your TVs parental control settings migt also help.

A web browser on a television should be filtered to the same extent as a browser on any other device behind the same router, but other apps on the television will not be filtered or content restricted at all by that mechanism.
