Violence has been present throughout human history and is present on a daily basis. Throughout history, only the forms of violence and the attitude of the individual towards violence have changed. One of the types of violence is also domestic violence, in which the victims are children directly or indirectly, in which their rights are violated, as it is the right of every person to live safely, without violence.
In my theoretical work, I described what violence is and what kind of violence we know. I have described in more detail family violence, what forms of family violence we know, and what role the preschool teacher has in detecting, identifying and preventing domestic violence against children. I also touched on what the preschool teacher job is when he meets a child who is a victim of domestic violence.
In my empirical work, I looked at how often the preschool teacher have faced cases of family violence and what instructions they have when there is a suspicion of domestic violence against a child. I was also interested in how the preschool teacher assess their knowledge in recognising domestic violence against children, and whether they need new knowledge in this area. In the research, I found that respondents with longer working lives have more experience with a child who is a victim of domestic violence. I also found that the respondents are not sufficiently trained in the field of recognizing domestic violence, and all respondents, regardless of their length of service, need education in this field. Respondents agreed to have clear instructions on who to turn to in case of suspected domestic violence.
