To prevent a child OU from inheriting a policy set at a parent OU, the administrator needs to configure the policy within the child OU itself and set its inheritance status to "Locally applied." This explicitly overrides the inherited policy from the parent with a specific setting for the child OU. Setting it to locally applied at the parent would not prevent inheritance. Turning off inheritance entirely might not be desired for other policies, and "Child > Parent" is the default precedence when inheritance is enabled.
