Abstract
First paragraph: Violence in child care is an issue that has been framed largely as a problem of individual staff attitudes or skill deficits that are remediable by conflict management or physical intervention skills training. By default, this approach has deemphasized the central role and responsibility of the agency and the structural dimensions of care that lie outside the control of individual workers (Leadbetter & Paterson, 2004).
