The focus of the study is equal treatment and equality work in preschool where the aim of the study was to increase knowledge about what experiences and knowledge there are among the preschool´s educators based on two different preschool manager´s areas. It is a qualitative study where the method has been to interview six individual educators, from five different preschools in two different principal areas in a municipality in central Sweden. The result shows that equality work is carried out at all the participating preschools, by existing equal treatment plans. The results also show how the knowledge about the equal treatment work of the interviewees is varied. All the interviewed teachers are aware of that the work has to be done by law, but the deeper understanding of its meaning in the practical work was variable. The results of the study also show how equal treatment work is a continuous work in which all of the profession should be included. It also appears that it is important with locally adapted plans, for them to be used and be seen as a supportive tool for the educators in the practical work. An important point to lift from the study's conclusion is how the educators' knowledge of equal treatment is important for reporting abusive treatment by violation reports, as otherwise this can be avoided due to uncertainty and thereby creating a problem for the equal treatment work.
