What is Assistive Access on iPhone for seniors?

I set up assistive access on an iPhone under our family sharing Verizon plan. Now, somehow I can't remember how I was able to see the phone I set up. For example, who is being called, who is being texted, the phone contact list etc. Where do I find this to monitor?
