The role of the Primary School Teacher in dealing with child sexual abuse

The urgency of research in the field of child sexual abuse has inspired
most efforts to be concentrated on treatment and counselling. An
important objective of this study was to show that equal importance
should be directed towards the identification, causes, effects and
prevention of child sexual abuse. It became evident from the literature
study that the catastrophe of child sexual abuse can be reduced if
teachers, especially primary school teachers,. are professionally trained to
identify, protect, prevent, report, support and guide the sexually abused
child or possible victims of child sexual abuse.
An empirical study to determine the importance of the role of the
primary school teacher in dealing with child sexual abuse has been
conducted. The results and the educational implications of the findings
are discussed and finally guidelines are given to assist primary school
teachers in their task of giving support and guidance to the sexually
abused child. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
