The diploma thesis presents the sexual abuse of children and the important role of consultants at primary schools in recognizing sexual abuse and the role of their further assistance and help. In the theoretical part, I present the issue of sexual abuse and its impact on children. I intertwined this with the importance of the role of social workers at primary schools in identifying and providing help and support to the child within the process. In the empirical part, I obtained and analyzed data qualitatively from six partially structured interviews. The objectives of my research are to discover the understanding of the topic of sexual abuse and your role as a social worker in identifying sexual abuse, helping the child, and their sense of competence. Therefore, also research the need for additional education for social workers working in the field of social work, on the topic of the issue of sexual abuse in childhood. The results showed that additional education is needed, specifically in the direction of good and bad practices. With basic education, they do not feel competent enough to deal with this difficult and deep issue. Social workers understand the importance of their role in identifying and helping, but they experience hardship and loneliness with this issue.
