A gestão escolar democrática e a atuação na proteção da criança e do adolescente

The objective of this bibliographic study was to understand the integration of school management in the protective network and the managers’ responsibilities and functions in the face of the perception of situations of violence against children and adolescents. The focus was on democratic school management with effective participation by those working in this context, as well as on the efficiency, secrecy, and optimization necessary to proceed with notifying those situations to the tutelary council. Thus, we sought to find out if there are specific computerized instruments so that they can assist school management in its functions. This study shows that democratic school management, besides promoting the improvement of the quality of education, can contribute to the protection of students against situations of violence. Future studies in the sense of creating and implementing computerized instruments can help the school manager to fulfill the role of the school in the protective network and to establish efficient and safe communication channels with the tutelary council.
