The evaluation of the European strategy for a Better Internet for Kids (BIK+ strategy) takes place every two years, with the second one taking place in 2026. The evaluation gathers views from children and young people, parents and caregivers, teachers and educators, Safer Internet Centres, and other relevant stakeholders across Europe.
The aim of the evaluation is to understand whether the BIK+ strategy continues to respond to children’s online needs, what progress has been made since the strategy was adopted, and where further efforts may be needed to ensure that children are protected, empowered and respected online.
The second evaluation takes account of changes in children’s digital lives, emerging technologies, and developments in the European legal and policy landscape since the first evaluation.
You are invited to share your views through dedicated surveys (available in all EU languages), which will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete on any device. Your input will help the European Union understand what online safety, digital empowerment and participation mean in practice and what could be improved. The surveys are anonymous and voluntary and do not collect any personal data.
The surveys are available in English and in all EU languages and: Second BIK+ evaluation webpage with more details about the full scope of the evaluation as well as the links to the surveys.
The deadline for participation is Friday, 2 October 2026.
