The majority of the teachers had never reported a case of child maltreatment during their professional background. These situations were experienced by the teachers with high levels of emotional impact, and both they and their schools showed high levels of involvement in cases identified. Three teacher profiles were identified, the group of trained teachers being the most capable of identifying more complex signs of child maltreatment, followed by those with more years of seniority. The process of detection and reporting of child maltreatment in the school setting is complex, and a wide range of elements need to be analysed conjointly.}, abstract = {Este estudio analiza los conocimientos del profesorado sobre el maltrato infantil en la familia y explora sus antecedentes formativos y profesionales para gestionar este problema. En el estudio participaron 227 profesores de Infantil y Primaria de Andalucía (España). La mayoría de ellos nunca había notificado un caso de maltrato durante su carrera profesional. El profesorado vivía estas situaciones con altos niveles de impacto emocional y tanto los docentes como sus respectivos centros educativos mostraron un alto nivel de implicación en los casos identificados. Se identificaron tres tipos de docentes, siendo el grupo de docentes con formación el más capaz de identificar signos más complejos de maltrato, seguido del grupo de docentes con más experiencia profesional. El proceso de detección y notificación del maltrato infantil en el contexto escolar es complejo y es necesario analizar conjuntamente un amplio rango de factores.}, publisher = {Sage}, title = {Pre-school and primary teachers in the process of detecting child maltreatment in Andalusia (Spain)}, doi = {10.1177/11356405241290456}, author = {Pérez Padilla, Javier and Lorence Lara, Bárbara and Menéndez Álvarez-Dardet, Susana}, }
