Abstract
El presente trabajo consiste en un estudio acerca de los conocimientos que poseen los profesionales
del ámbito educativo en la detección, identificación y notificación de situaciones de maltrato
infantil. Para ello se diseñó un cuestionario sobre detección del maltrato infantil que fue distribuido
entre los profesores de Educación Infantil y Primaria de tres colegios de San Fernando (Cádiz).
Los resultados indican la existencia de un desconocimiento generalizado por parte del profesorado
acerca de cómo detectar, notificar y actuar ante un caso de maltrato infantil, así como la falta de
conocimiento ante los protocolos de actuación sobre el maltrato infantil y de los instrumentos de
notificación más usados. Asimismo, se evidencia el mantenimiento de algunas incertidumbres entre
los docentes, entre las que destacan el proceso a seguir ante la sospecha de una situación de maltrato
y su rol a la hora de intervenir en la forma en la que los padres educan a sus hijos. Por otro
lado, un mayor número de años de experiencia docente no parece otorgar una visión más realista
sobre el maltrato infantil, ni se relaciona con un mayor conocimiento de los procesos de detección
y notificación del mismo. Se aboga por potenciar una mayor formación especializada del profesorado,
que los dote de los conocimientos y herramientas necesarias para la detección de casos de maltrato,
y su posible inclusión dentro del currículo de las carreras de magisterio.
The current work introduces a study about the knowledge obtained by the proffesionals in the educational areas of detection, indetification and notification of child abuse situations. For that matter, a questionnaire about detection of child abuse has been designed and distributed amongst Early Childhood and Primary Education teachers in three schools throughout San Fernando (Cádiz). The results denote the existence of a widespread ignorance from the teachers about how to detect, notify and act when a child abuse case appears, and so with the action protocol about child abuse and the most popular notification tools. Likewise, there is an evidence that points to the uncertainty of these teachers, among which we can highlight the process to follow when there is a suspicion of an abuse situation and their rol when they have to intervene in the way parents educate their children. On the other hand, a higher number of years of teaching experience doesn't seem to grant a more realistic view about child abuse, and can't be related to a better knowledge about the detection and notification of that said process. It is advocated to promote a better and more specialized formation for teachers that brings them the proper knowledge and tools for the detection of child abuse, and its possible incorporation in the study programme of the Teaching Degree.
