2. Implementation's characteristics

The website enables children to contact online with the Ombudsman. Norway was the first country in the world to establish an institution of an ombudsman – dealing exclusively with children’s rights (1981). Owing to the analyzed solution, persons below 18 years of age, can post, directly on the institution’s website, queries pertaining to their rights. People posting queries remain anonymous – they only fill in their gender. The questions concern various areas – relations with parents, relations at school, teachers, the use of social media by minors, etc. The answers are also posted on the Ombudsman’s website and visible to everybody. The questions are posted in order of entries on the website and archived. It is also possible to browse questions in thematic categories of interest (e.g. family, school, personal life, who decides?, Rights, Friends/Sweethearts, Mobbing, Harassment, Emotions, Bonds). The website includes links to social media (Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram). These are official profiles of the implementing institution. The service is very popular. In 2014, the Ombudsman received a total of 1,480 queries from minors.
