Presented by Katharina Ahmadi-Wachter from the University of Hildesheim, Germany, 30 April 2025

Katharina Ahmadi-Wachter presented findings from a pilot project tested a prevention program in 25 childcare settings. One of the key findings we learned is that preventing harmful educator behaviour requires more than policies and training-it demands a shift in institutional culture. Only when psychological safety, open communication, and reflective practices are embedded in daily routines can prevention efforts truly be effective.
