Better Internet for Kids

A guide for all recources, helplines, institutes in the Netherlands with a program for prevention or response to incidents regarding sexting for teachers.

We noted that many teachers in the Netherlands didn't know what to do or what recources to use when it comes to sexting and online sexual abuse. Together with the government and school institutes we created a task force to compile all recources and organised them in two pdf-guides: one for primary education, and one for secondary education.

For a graduation project, Lyzza Panday created a recource for us, a documentary about sexting and online sexual assault. The documentary included several interviews with influencers and a guide on what to do after you've become a victim of online sexual assault.

What are children and youth exposed to through influencers? In 2022 we asked children and young people between the ages of 9 and 18 about what they do on social media, and which influencers they like to follow.

On behalf of the Norwegian Media Authority, Retriever investigated what 22 of these influencers communicate to their followers and what young SoMe users are exposed to.
