A sample of 172 teachers of the 1st cycle, selected by convenience. Questionnaire with sociodemographic characterization, training and perception about child abuse. <br><br>RESULTS: Participants with an average age of 45 and average experience of 25.7 years (SD=6,83). Expertise in the related area-34,3% acquired in the training base and 16.3% in further training. Only 15.7% knew the 'guideline for education professionals in addressing mistreatment situations…'.
