Question 9: Does your organisation undertake any activities in the field of youth protection? If yes, which activities? (n=126)

86% of the respondents do undertake activities for youth protection, i.e.

Educational training in digital literacy for parents, young persons, teachers and social workers
Awareness campaigns and projects
Influence legislation
Promotion of new filter technologies
Networking / lobbying
Help lines
Research

Only 8% of the respondents report that activities for youth protection are not relevant for their target group or that they have never thought about it. These answers underline that the experts who participated in the survey have huge experience in the field of youth protection in practical work as well as in theory. The results are therefore a good validation for the significance of the survey findings in general.
