This is not possible. Profiles must be removable unless installed by MDM or set up as non-removable and manually installed by Apple Configurator.


If you are using a parental control MDM, that profile (which installs any other profiles or management), must be removable. MDM profiles can only be non-removable on devices enrolled through automated device enrollment. For this, a device must first be enrolled in Apple Business/School Manager which is not available to families.
