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.

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.
