Webinar - Educational Sabotage: A form of abuse against children and youth with potentially long-term consequences
The Event
What effects does violence in the home or in an early relationship have on children's behaviour and success at school? What are behaviours and signs that teachers can watch out for? During the launch event for our expert paper “Educational Sabotage: A form of abuse against children and youth with potentially long-term consequences”, Prof. Carolina Øverlien shared insights from her research.
