Emotional Abuse in the Classroom and Workplace
Congratulations on reaching the website devoted initially to discussing and exploring emotional abuse in the classroom. In 2017 it will be expanded to include emotional abuse in the workplace.
Emotional abuse is widespread, and its effects can be long-lasting and severe. There is research indicating that more than 50% of the population have experienced it at some stage in their educational career. This website accompanies the book Emotional Abuse in the Classroom published initially in 2012. It is expected that new editions will be published either every 4-5 years or so, or if there is substantial new material available to warrant a new edition.
Inspiration for the book
So far, the agendas for child protection, safeguarding, and the safer recruitment of people working with children have been driven mainly by a small number of very high profile and shocking cases involving physical abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect. Those cases have invariably highlighted failures in established procedures that are supposed to prevent these things from happening. The resulting initiatives have put a great deal of effort into reforming relevant social work and law agencies, and how they work together.
