Socio -educational intervention in situations of child abuse (university degree with 5 ECTS credits)

While today they are absolutely unacceptable, abusive practices against children and the violation of their rights have been a constant throughout history and even today, despite remaining, in many cases, hidden in the privacy of the family breast. Given this reality, the school becomes the ideal scenario for the detection of these situations. The teacher, by maintaining a direct and constant treatment with the students, is made the main agent of prevention of child abuse and intervention in the educational field. With this course we intend that the educational community is prepared to detect the signs of child abuse and abandonment and to adopt the most appropriate action guidelines in each case.

The issue of child abuse encompasses numerous aspects, child abuse not only occurs at home, but can occur in any environment in which the minor develops his life, therefore the issue is complex when identifying what the problem, its causes and its origin is. Thus, the objective of the course is to train the student in the subject of social intervention in situations of child abuse through a theoretical part that encompasses concepts, distinctions and criteria for identifying minors. On the other hand, the theoretical part receives practical support with the explanation of the action criteria and their application in real situations. Therefore, the student's preparation is pursued for the use of the conceptual tools taught in the course.
