Skolmiljön som potentiellt kompensatoriskt mikrosystem för barn som upplevt våld mot mamma

Sammanfattning: This paper aims to examine how children who have experienced violence against their mother experience their school and if the school somehow can compensate for the vulnerable situation of the children’s home situation. The data is an already collected material there interviews with abused children are done. The results presented consist of the previous research in the area where the empirical material analyzed from the developing ecological theory and based on children's different abilities to master life and then give an voice to the collected research. The results showed that if the violence in the family does not affect the child's sleep or the parents do not prioritize enough for the child to get the sleep he/she needs and that the child is not serious difficulty concentrating, it seems that children can use school to learn and enjoy this learning. If school staff also would have more knowledge about this group of children, the children would be noticed earlier and offered support. For future studies, it would be useful to focus on children who have experienced violence against their mother and the absence of any outside compensation. Keywords: violence' children' school'
