Do you have to change your Apple profile on the iPad to activate this or you can login once with kid profile and once with adult profile?
My issue is that I use the ipad and then lend it to my son but would like to use parental control when he is on it. Is it possible to do this or the ipad has to be 100% with my son's iOs profile?
Thanks
iPad mini 5, iPadOS 14
What you are seeking to achieve with your iPad is not possible.
Unlike other computers with which you may be familiar, that support multiple user profiles - other than “managed” educational environments, OS/iPadOS devices are not intended to be shared. The service model is single-user.
Be aware that if you sign-out of iCloud and other Apple services - and allow another user to sign-in - you’ll not be able to change back for 90-days. So as to prevent account abuse, some critical Apple services will only allow one change of signed-in AppleID (on a device) in a 90-day period.
Unless you fully sign-out, you are also providing opportunity for sensitive/private information to be exposed; potential also exists for account lockout and/or accidental deletion of data.
In conclusion, unless you fully understand and accept the implications, you would be well advised to reconsider any attempt to share your iPad with another user.

Quick and Simple answer.
No.
Apple iOS/iPadOS devices are single user devices ONLY.
Sorry.
Using kid and adult profile on the same ipad: is it possible?
