Abstract
Schools could play a role in detecting gender-based violence at home, but some difficulties are detected by literature, including teachers' anxieties and distress. The aim of this study is to analyze teachers' perceptions and beliefs about their role, and what obstacles they perceive in detecting these situations. 322 teachers from 86 schools answered a questionnaire. The results show that students do not tend to communicate these situations, and teachers consider that they need to be more involved. Lack of training, difficulties in coordination, lack of trusting relationships with students, and mistaken beliefs among teachers, were the main obstacles.
