KMOP - Social Action and Innovation Centre, founded in 1977, is one of the oldest civil society organizations in Greece, with extensive experience in direct provision of social services and implementation of social initiatives.

Methodology
KMOP conducted quantitative research to explore children’s online experiences and stances, with a focus on the risks they encounter, the harms they face, and their awareness of reporting mechanisms. The research specifically targeted children aged 9 to 12 years and employed LimeSurvey, an online platform designed to ensure confidentiality and anonymity by protecting and rendering respondents’ IP addresses undetectable. Participation required explicit consent, with children agreeing to data analysis. Parents also granted permission for their children’s involvement. Schools collected the consent forms and provided them to KMOP prior to the survey’s commencement.
