Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the followings regarding the guidance which was published in 2019 by
MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan) for the school teachers and staff to
cope with the maltreatment of the children:
1. the acknowledgement level of this guidance
2. primary factors for the empowerment
3. the influence of the idiosyncratic attitude of the managers.
As the result of survey requested to 300 teachers all over Japan in October, 2020, the acknowledgement of the guid
ance was proved to be highly reflected on the teachers’ attitude towards the children.
As for the empowerment, the most influential elements are the pliability elements, where various viewpoints and/or
criticism were accepted, equalization and satisfaction of their work regardless of their position. High quality of coping
ability was noticed to be essential for flexible attitude of the managers.
Thus, those three elements, acknowledgement of the guidance, flexible empowerment, and high-quality coping atti
tude of the managers, were noticeable to emphasize to support the maltreated children at school circumstance.
