Abstract
Child
abuse
has
become
identified
as a
major
concern
of
all
communities
in
today's
society.
While
resolving
the
problem
is
considered
to
require
a
multidisciplinary
approach
,
teachers
are
often
faced
with
abuse
when
they are
alone
within
their
classrooms.
A
community
social
concern
suddenly
becomes
an
individual's
professional
concern.
--
The
purpose
of this
project
is
to
develop
a
handbook
about
child
abuse
for
teachers
of
Newfoundland
and
Labrador.
While
the
laws
and
policies
of this
province
state
teachers'
legal
obligations
to
report
known
or
suspected
abuse
to the
appropriate
authorities
,
many
of the
dilemmas
teachers
face
when
confronted
with
child
abuse
have
generally
been
overlooked.
The
ultimate
goal
of this
project
is
to
develop
a
handbook
which
will
increase
teachers'
knowledge
,
confidence
and
competence
with
respect
to
child
abuse
reporting
,
while
aiming
to
reduce
child
abuse
in
Newfoundland
and
Labrador.

This
project
report
contains
four
separate
chapters:
Chapter
I
includes
a
discussion
of the
problem;
Chapter
II
contains
a
review
of the
background
research
, and a
rationale
for the
project;
Chapter
III
provides
a
description
of the
methodology
used;
and
Chapter
IV
contains
the
results
of the
project
,
which
is
a
self-contained
handbook.
The
first
three
chapters
provide
the
basis
for the
fourth
chapter.
Together
,
all
four
chapters
were
written
to
fulfil
the
requirements
for the
degree
of
Master
of
Education.
It
is
anticipated
that
Chapter
IV
will be
published
separately
,
therefore
different
Tables
of
Contents
and
References
have been
included.
