Of the remaining have every tenth considered a notification, but refrained. According to a survey of Teachers newspaper commissioned among more than 1000 teachers who are members of the Teachers’ Union.
Teachers are among the professionals who have a statutory obligation to give notice if you suspect that a child is being abused. But it can be a difficult decision to make, according to a research report from Stockholm University. A notification may risk employee’s ability to support the child and the parents. A notification can also lead to parents moving the child from preschool or school.
