title: [The role of the national education physician in the management of child abuse].
abstract: The school physician is in a key position to detect and to report cases of child ill-treatment. He has opportunities to listen to the child himself, to collect information upon his life at school as well as on his brothers and sisters; therefore he can get an accurate knowledge of the situation of that child. Afterwards, he will meet the child's parents. Through his relationships with many partners, such as the family physician, the hospital, educators, social workers and even justice, the school physician can clear up some facts, in order to complete his view on the case. Due to his particular responsibility to cope with situations of child distress, the school physician, as an adviser inside school, shall take an active part in terms of prevention.
