Lock hotspot on child's iphone 13?

I need to lock the hot spot on my child's iphone 13. I know how to turn it off. So does she. I want to be able to lock it like I can lock cellular data changes in screen time. Is there a way I can lock access to her personal hotspot?

How do I prevent my child from using their iPhone hotspot? I would like to prevent my child from evading my parental control settings by using their hotspot to link another device to the internet. I found a similar question answered here two years ago, but when I implemented the suggestion (don't allow cellular data changes in content & privacy restrictions), I found that I was still able to easily activate the hotspot just by switching it back on in settings. I tested that it was indeed active by linking my own computer to the hotspot. Is there a different workaround for this issue?

Block access to hot spot setting on Child's iphone I have searched the forums for ways to block my child from turning on their hotspot on their iPhone SE using the Family Screen Time settings. Forum suggestions has me use "Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions>Cellular Data Changes> Don't Allow"...BUT it is not preventing access on my child's phone. It seems like HotSpot is not specific to Cellular Data Settings....Ideas?
