Background
In close collaboration with the French NGO L'Œil du Loup (LDL), CFV is in 2025 focusing sharply on the prevention of violence against children. Combining LDL's practical experience in developing teaching materials with CFV's scientific approach, we have developed a toolkit for teachers, professionals, parents, authorities, NGOs and others working with children aged 5–7.
Through the toolkit's theoretical foundation and practical exercises, professionals can support and develop children's emotional intelligence and their understanding of consent and personal boundaries.
Impact
While the toolkit on consent and boundaries cannot stand alone in the prevention of violence, it will contribute significantly to strengthening children's emotional intelligence, understanding of their own and others' rights, and what consent is — and how we can give and receive it.
Through the toolkit, LDL and CFV equip the adults who care for children aged 5–7 to do the essential violence prevention work needed to stop the trend in Danish primary schools.
Key findings
Violence against children is a widespread problem in Europe and Denmark. Prevention by strengthening children's position in society is a central part of this work.
Violence against children often occurs in the home, which makes schools an appropriate place to work with violence prevention measures directly with children.
Supporting children in developing psychosocial skills can help them resist boundary-violating behaviour, while establishing a culture of consent in Danish homes and schools.
Simple exercises and rituals, repeated in a safe environment with trusted adults, strengthen children's ability to say no and understand others' boundaries.
