Prevention: the value of parental supervision
INHOPEs mission is to support our member hotlines in the rapid identification and removal of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) from the digital world. By processing incoming reports of suspected CSAM, our network prevents distribution and revictimisation, which is crucial to avoid further harm and trauma for the affected children. However, if we want to reach our goal of an internet free of CSAM, we must not only react to abuse but also focus on preventing abuse before it happens.

In the spotlight: Safer Internet Centres Greece and Ireland
As part of the Better Internet for Kids (BIK) Quality Assurance Programme (QAP), the Insafe-INHOPE Coordination Teams are jointly conducting a set of fourteen country visits to national Safer Internet Centres (SICs) to better understand what is happening in the Member States: monitoring emerging issues and challenges, identifying good practices to be shared, and harvesting the results of the Better Internet for Kids (BIK) policy. Even though the COVID-19 related safety measures are getting lighter across Europe, it was still agreed by both parties that some of the visits would take place in an online format, particularly in the case of cluster meetings, in order to facilitate interaction between SICs that are geographically distant and different from each other in terms of culture and language. To this end, one such online cluster meeting was organised with the Greek and Irish SICs.
