Social Issues at Pre-School and School

Abstract

Before focusing on empirical findings about pre-school and school in relation to domestic violence and family law proceedings, the following two chapters place these issues in a wider context through a discussion of different approaches to the problem of domestic violence among agencies and professionals involved in the lives of children exposed to violence. This first chapter provides a review of the situation concerning work with social issues in general at pre-school and school, and of the educational staff in relation to that work. The possible victimization of staff members themselves is discussed as well.
