In order to clarify methods for fostering "practical skills for child abuse prevention" in teacher-training programs, we carried out surveys.In Japan, through surveys of elementary, junior high, and high school teachers in Osaka and Hokkaido, special education teachers across the country, and teachers in teacher-training universities, we analyzed and identified issues in the current situation when dealing with child abuse, recognition of abuse, education and methods for in-service training about abuse, and in the situation at the undergraduate level with regard to education about abuse. From the internationalsurveys, we gathered information about "Safeguarding" in England, prevention education at the school level in Sweden and Austria, and the systems that support schools in the US. On the basis of these results, we have made several proposals about the content and method of education at the teacher-training level and about in-service training for currently-employed teachers.
