Disable or Remove BigSur Control Center

I need to disable Control Center on BigSur desktop or go back to Catalina menu. It is careless to expose network settings on desktop with children and unskilled users having access to your desktop. Please tell me how to remove it. It is a nightmare trying to secure iOS and mac devices. Yes my systems are already being constantly attacked despite numerous security measures in place. The last thing I need is children and unskilled users turning wifi and bluetooth on from the desktop. It's just another access point for a hacker or unskilled user. It should have the option of being disabled. The apps such as FaceTime are already being used by hackers to breach iOS and mac. The last thing we need is unauthorized use of wifi and bluetooth. These two network services should require administrator approval!!!!!!!! Control Center should not be on desktop without administrator approval.

You cannot remove Control Center as it is integrated into Mac OS. I would strongly recommend that you create user accounts for each of the computers users and also learn how to use the integrated controls your computer has. Please carefully read https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-content-and-privacy-restrictions-mchl8490d51e/mac


Also, if you feel your computer is not secure, please be specific as Mac OS is EXTREMELY secure.
