@Flood and Flood's wife Thank you for your help.
His phone is one UI 6.0 and Android 14.
I uninstalled Kaspersky, turned off, waited reinstalled. Ensured all permissions were granted as per the steps and guide.
Unknown apps are forbidden.
Google assistant is not set up on his phone.
The permission screen, as screenshot above, still comes up when he tries to pair anything with Bluetooth - it's not a headphone issue, it's and Bluetooth connection issue - and when he tries to add a wifi account.
The wifi and Bluetooth connections work of they have been added but he can not access the screens to add more.
We have several other devices with Kaspersky Safe kids and this isn't an issue.
