Parents' perspective and understanding of ensuring safe internet for children

Dear respondents,

My name is Daiva Sadauskienė, I am currently studying at Mykolas Romeris University and conducting research for my master's thesis, which examines parents' perspective and understanding of ensuring safe internet for children in Lithuania and Switzerland. The aim of this research is to better understand how parents respond to the security challenges their children face while navigating the vastness of the internet.

Your opinion is extremely important as it will help reveal both positive and negative aspects related to child safety in the online space.

I would like to ask you to take a few minutes to answer this questionnaire. Your responses will be anonymous and used only for scientific purposes. Every response is valuable, so don't miss the opportunity to share your thoughts!

“Safe internet is not just a matter of technology, but also a part of parents' perspective on it.”


If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]


Thank you for your time and valuable contribution to my research!


Sincerely,

Daiva Sadauskienė
