The Safer Internet Centre in Croatia, in the framework of the project "Safer Internet Centre Croatia: making the internet a good and safe place“, conducted the first systematic, international comparative study aimed at deepening the understanding of internet use, online behaviours of parents, and parental mediation of children’s online behaviours. The research was conducted with the support of the UK-based organisation Childnet International.

The aim of this quantitative research is to gain insight into internet usage among the general population of parents through:

• a better understanding of how internet content is used
• parental practices regarding children's internet use in primary and secondary schools
• parent's perceptions of children's exposure to harmful content

The research also covers the area of partnership relationships: how the internet use is related to the quality of parents' partnership relationships.
