“…The literature has underscored the need for conceptual 684 schemas structured over the maltreatment of children that 685 streamline the recognition and referral of these cases, since 686 laypeople and community professionals, as those making 687 the referrals, may have biased interpretations of these sit-688 uations, leading to the under-reporting or over-reporting of 689 cases (Mathews and Bross 2008). The decision to report a 690 case of parental maltreatment has been characterized as 691 complex, ambiguous and full of errors and uncertainty.…”

ResumoEste estudo objetivou descrever a utilização do Child Neglect Index para identifi car casos de crianças negligenciadas por seus pais/cuidadores no contexto brasileiro. Após adaptação inicial à realidade sociocultural brasileira, o instrumento foi aplicado em três grupos de indivíduos, cada qual com 30 díades de crianças/pais, totalizando 90 díades (n=180), assim compostos: G1 (primeiro grupo) = casos ofi cialmente notifi cados por negligência infantil; G2 (segundo grupo) = casos suspeitos de negligência não notifi cados; G3 (terceiro grupo) = casos sem suspeita de negligência ou outra forma de maus-tratos (grupo de comparação); além de um quarto grupo de professoras dessas crianças (n=11). Os resultados apontaram altos escores no índice de negligência em G1 e G2, e baixos escores em G3, sugerindo presença de indicadores de falta de supervisão parental referentes a cuidados com alimentação, vestimenta, higiene, saúde física, saúde mental e educação nos dois primeiros grupos avaliados, comparativamente às crianças sem suspeita de maus-tratos. Os atuais achados empíricos, embora preliminares em termos de adaptação do Child Neglect Index ao contexto do Brasil, foram promissores ao sinalizar potencial do instrumento como recurso para detecção/confi rmação da negligência infantil, estimulando novas investigações e aprimoramento desse recurso técnico para favorecer adequada identifi cação e intervenção nesses casos.

AbstractThis study describes the use of Child Neglect Index to identify cases of children neglected by their parents/caregivers in the Brazilian context. After initial adaptation to the Brazilian sociocultural reality, the instrument was applied in three different groups. Each group is composed of 30 dyads of children/parents, totaling 90 dyads of participants (n=180). They are: G1 (fi rst group) = offi cially reported cases of child neglect; G2 (second group) = suspected cases of neglect, but not notifi ed; G3 (third group) = unsuspected cases of neglect or otherwise abuse (comparison group). There is also a fourth group composed of the children's teachers (n=11). The results showed high scores on the index of neglect in G1 and G2, but low scores in G3, suggesting the presence of indicators of lack of parental supervision regarding the care of food, clothing, hygiene, physical health, mental health and education in the fi rst two groups evaluated when compared to no suspicion of child maltreatment. The current empirical fi ndings, although preliminary in terms of adaptation of Child Neglect Index to the Brazilian context, were promising to signal the potential of the instrument as a resource for detection/confi rmation of child neglect. It stimulates further research and improvements in this technical resource to facilitate proper identifi cation and intervention in these cases.

“…Specific topics include: consideration of the role of teachers and schools; the National Safe Schools Framework; school child protection policies; the impact of trauma on learning; features of maltreatment subtypes; domestic and family violence; responding to disclosures of child sexual abuse; child sexual abuse prevention education; out-of-home care; and interagency teamwork. At the Master's level, students also consider issues such as teacher professional development (Laskey, 2008), and engage with contemporary research about the benefits and pitfalls of statutory systems of mandatory reporting for child maltreatment (Goddard, Saunders, Stanley, & Tucci, 2002;Mathews & Bross, 2008;Melton, 2005).…”
