This paper theoretically reviews the child maltreatment phenomenon, mostly considering the difficulty of teachers in the recognition of specific signs and symptoms and how to properly report the cases. We sought to understand the main concepts of abuse and their subdivisions (sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse and neglect) as well as the difficulties that teachers have with these cases on a daily bases. Furthermore, we aimed to verify through an unsystematic review of the literature prevention programs with teachers as the target audience, and finally, emphasize important aspects that must be considered for this type of training.

Keywords : Child Abuse; School age Children; Teachers.
