Hočevar, Katja (author), Janeš, Nina (author), Zorc-Maver, Darja (mentor), Mojškerc, Nataša (comentor)

Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na problematiko nasilja nad otroki v družini in njegove posledice na otrokovo življenje ter vpliv vrtca pri prepoznavanju, ukrepanju ter preprečevanju nasilja. Namen raziskave je razumeti, kako lahko vrtec prispeva k zmanjšanju nasilja v družini ter zagotavljanju varnega in spodbudnega okolja za otroke. V prvem delu diplomskega dela je predstavljena teoretična osnova, ki vključuje definicijo nasilja, opredelitev nasilja nad otroki in različne oblike nasilja, kot so fizično, psihično, spolno, ekonomsko nasilje ter zanemarjanje otrok. Prav tako je predstavljena zgodovina nasilja nad otroki ter v kolikšni meri se nasilje nad otroki pojavlja v današnjem času. Poudarek je tudi na posledicah nasilja na otrokovo dobrobit, razvoj in vedenje. Drugi del se osredotoča na vlogo vrtca pri odkrivanju, prepoznavanju, ukrepanju in preprečevanju nasilja nad otroki v družini. Predstavljene so smernice, ki jih vrtec lahko uporabi za vzpostavitev varnega okolja ter prepoznavanje znakov nasilja. Izpostavljena je tudi vloga vzgojiteljev pri opazovanju otrokovega vedenja, vzpostavljanju zaupanja in nudenju podpore otroku v primeru nasilja. V tretjem delu je predstavljena empirična raziskava, ki prikazuje izkušnje vzgojiteljev in njihovo znanje o nasilju nad otroki v družini. Za zbiranje podatkov smo uporabili anketiranje vzgojiteljev. Pri analizi smo temeljili na sodobnem razumevanju nasilja nad otroki v družini kot del spolno zaznamovanega pojava, kjer ima veliko vlogo nesorazmerje moči med spoloma, prav tako pa tudi glede na starost (intersekcijski pristop). Rezultati so pokazali, da je večina vzgojiteljev seznanjena z različnimi oblikami nasilja in se zaveda svoje vloge, vendar ne ukrepajo vedno. Raziskava pokaže, da je vloga vrtca pri odkrivanju, ukrepanju ter preprečevanju nasilja nad otroki v družini ključna. Vzgojiteljice imajo pomembno vlogo pri vzpostavljanju zaupanja z otroki ter nudenju ustrezne podpore in pomoči v primeru nasilja. Ustrezne smernice, usposabljanje in protokoli za obravnavo nasilja nad otroki v družini pa bi lahko učinkoviteje podprli vzgojitelje in vrtce pri tej pomembni nalogi.

• Title: Kindergarten and Domestic Violence against Children

Abstract

The diploma focuses on the issue of domestic violence against children and its consequences on a child's life, as well as the influence of preschool institutions in recognizing, taking action, and preventing such violence. The aim of the research is to understand how preschools can contribute to reducing domestic violence and providing a safe and supportive environment for children. The first part of the diploma presents the theoretical foundation, including the definition of violence, the identification of domestic violence against children, and various forms of violence such as physical, psychological, sexual, economic violence, and child neglect. The historical context of domestic violence against children is also presented, along with its prevalence in today's society. The focus is also on the consequences of violence on a child's well-being, development, and behavior. The second part focuses on the role of preschools in detecting, recognizing, intervening, and preventing domestic violence against children. Guidelines that preschools can employ to establish a secure environment and identify signs of violence are presented. The role of educators in observing children's behavior, building trust, and providing support in case of violence is highlighted. The third part presents an empirical study illustrating educators' experiences and knowledge about domestic violence against children. Data was collected through educator surveys. The analysis was based on a contemporary understanding of domestic violence against children within a context of gendered dynamics and considering age-related factors (intersectional approach). The results showed that most educators are familiar with various forms of violence but do not always take action. The study demonstrates the crucial role of preschools in detecting, responding to, and preventing domestic violence against children. Educators play a significant role in building trust with children and offering appropriate support and assistance in case of violence. Adequate guidelines, training, and protocols for addressing domestic violence against children could better support educators and preschools in this important task.
