Abstract
Early detection of and response to the domestic violencenagainst children, provision of security and necessary assistance, remain major challenges for children’s rights protection systems in various countries, including Ukraine. The lack of a systematic interagency collaboration between the institutions responsible for combating domestic violence against children is the most obvious problem in this regard. The article presents the results of data analysis of four focus groups with the participation of 45 employees of different professional institutions, which reflects the main problems and obstacles that hinder effective interagency collaboration. Systematization and generalization of data demonstrate 6 general types of problems within the interagency collaboration: competence of employees; communication and interaction between departments; normative regulation; prevention; level of trust
