Abstract:
The role of teachers for recognizing and making public cases of child abuse is very important. For most of the children, school is the place where they can communicate with other persons apart from their family members. According to many researches most of the child abuse cases take place at home. Therefore, within the school environment we have the possibility to recognize child abuse cases but also proceeding in some first therapeutic intervenetions. However, in order to be able to use effectively this possibility on the one hand teachers should be capable of recognizing such cases and on the other hand have the volition to go public in order to meet the "challenge" of keeping children safe. In this paper use a case study to examine the role of school and teachers when dealing with child abuse cases. The material presented and discussed here is part of a larger qualitative doctoral research where I use open interviews and narrative structures in order to explore primary school teachers' experiences. Additionally, this work is being based on personal narrative and memory work from my experiences as a primary school teacher. The introduction of autoethnographic elements here helped to deal with methodological and other issues arising when the researcher is at the same time part of the researched group. My aim here is to present and discuss the dilemmas and particularities that the teacher has to confront when facing child abuse cases and argue, using international and Greek research data, on the different ways the State can help teachers in their work for protecting children.
