Psychological work
What to do if a child reports of violence against them?
When a child tells you about abuse.
Treat the child seriously.
Try to remain calm.
Comfort and support the child saying, "Well, you told me (a). You did the right thing (s) "; "You are not to blame (a)"; "You're not the one (one) hit (s) in such a situation, it happens with other children"; "I have to tell someone (a social worker or inspector) about what happened. They will want to ask you some questions. They will help to make you feel safe. "(You can make it clear to your child that you understand his feelings about this, but should not leave him no choice.) Tell your child: "There are secrets that can not be stored if you do bad."
Do not think that the child will hate his opponent or angry at him (it may be a family member, a parent or guardian).
Patiently answer questions and dissipate anxiety child.
Take care not to make promises that you can not perform, such as "Your mother will be upset," or "The one who hurt you, do not do anything."
If a child says about it in the classroom.
Show that you have taken note of this, for example: "This is very serious. Come on, we'll talk about it later, "and change the subject. Organize a conversation with the child alone, and the sooner the better (for example, the nearest change or after school).
Procedure for communication.
Procedures vary in different institutions and in different jurisdictions. Read the rules adopted in your school, and act accordingly. Some of the steps may be slightly different from those that we offer you.
Notify the Director that the child told you about violence (leave the child with the secretary or other employee, but do not leave your child alone).
Notify the authorities themselves, if the director or his deputy is not there.
Make sure to inform the department of custody and guardianship of how much time they have (for example, when a child waiting at home), so they can calculate their actions.
Wait to tell my parents until the director and staff of the police or welfare authorities did not determine when and how it should be done.
Plan further actions with police department or guardianship. Find out if they are going to come to school or home for the child and when they are going, or they limit themselves to counseling.
Notify OpDN inspector or department custody all the information regarding the child and his family, which can help in the planning of future actions.
Stay with the child until the police did not come as a child at this time support is needed.
Ask your child if he wanted to remain with him for support for adult conversation with the police. Tell your child about whom he can stay. Respect the wishes of the child. The child may want or may not want to have with him was any adult.
Consult with the inspector and guardianship agencies before releasing the child home if they have not yet talked with the child.
Discuss with employees OpDN what information you can share with your child and his parents, if they have not interviewed the child.
If the child has told you that his abuser - the other disciple, take the same steps. Please consult with the police or the guardianship before talk to this student or his parents. Make sure that children were separated and they do not expect police arrived together. Only an inspector or a representative of the guardianship can speak with someone accused child.
After disclosure.
Dear teacher! Talk with a colleague or someone who you trust about your feelings. Such cases are always hardest time. You also need support.
Find out if you can get information about the status of the investigation, on the measures taken, etc., and if you can, how.
Keep in touch with a child who needs constant support (for example, tell him: "If you want to talk, I'm at your disposal").
Respect the child's right to privacy, not giving it to other workers and students.
Do not delay message. Remember: If you suspect a child is subjected to any kind of violence, you are responsible before the law and must report it to the authorities.
