Educators are trained in the implementation of the programme by certified ReSi+ trainers. Through the link with educational goals of this age group, ReSi+ can be easily integrated into everyday life in kindergartens. Moreover, kindergarten teachers receive training on dealing with suspected cases of sexual and domestic violence. Parents receive information on child protection, violence prevention and regional and national support services. ReSi+ is implemented throughout Germany. It is a central goal to network all players in a region with one another to protect children from sexualised and domestic violence.show moreshow less
