Can you recommend a parental control app for an android mobile?

My DS (10 nearly 11) has asked for a phone for Christmas and whilst I am reluctant, I think it probably is time as it will to allow us to set rules, understand boundaries etc, before he reaches secondary school next year.

For the next 9 months or so the phone will only be used at home but I would like to get the right things in place from the start.

I guess as a minimum I need something will block adult content sites, flag up any threatening/bullying messages, allow me to restrict screen time, location tracker, possibly restrict some web sites - any suggestions?

Android phones can have google family link installed, I think (but not sure) you need a parental android device to install the control app on i.e. an android tablet or phone.
