The role of the teacher and the school in child protection. Casedetection and reporting in child protective services in La Rioja

Abstract

Currently one of the issues most frequently discussed in the professional field of child protection is the need to establish working systems that enable coordination between the different resources and institutions and between different disciplines who work around the family and children. The education system is an essential part of system resources that work with victims of child abuse. But there are many difficulties and reluctance that present the education professionals (teachers, professors, staff) to detect these situations and get involved in their resolution. This article aims to raise awareness among professionals with the triple objective of justifying its role in addressing the problem, to overcome some of the above difficulties and report on the notification procedure in the Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja.
