Thanks to the thousands of children and teens who took part in our survey on Cyberbullying. Their valuable input has helped the European Commission write a plan with ideas and actions that adults, schools and online platforms should follow to keep children and young people safe online.
What was the survey about?
The survey included questions about what cyberbullying looks like, whether children have seen or experienced it, and who children think it affects most.
And very importantly, it asked for children's ideas on how to prevent cyberbullying and better protect those who are affected by it.
Children's answers, together with input from adults and organisations, have been considered in the EU’s Action Plan against Cyberbullying
