The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of child abuse among preschoolers attending public and private preschools in Kagawa prefecture and measures taken by childcare workers in response to suspected abuse. Childcare workers in every preschool in the prefecture participated in the study, comprising a total of 1, 336 subjects. Childcare workers expressed some concerns about suspected child abuse for 1.8 percent of children and consulted a third party in 0.1 percent of cases. There were 65 children who fit the criteria for potential physical abuse and 84 who fit the criteria for potential sexual abuse. The third parties most frequently consulted by childcare workers in cases of suspected child abuse were government children's consultation offices, social welfare offices and coworkers. Eighty percent of childcare workers had already known that they had a legal obligation to notify the appropriate authorities of suspected child abuse. It seemed to be necessary to consider a countermeasure for child abuse.
