SUMMARY:

Violence against children is a highly relevant topic in the current context due to the increasing rates recorded, even with the enactment of legislation focused on protecting children's rights. Authors in the field of childhood sociology have emphasized the need to understand childhood as a permanent social category and children as full social actors in their own lives, which is essential for promoting access to already-established rights. In this regard, the research aimed to understand the practices of violence against children aged 0 to 12 in the administrative region of Ceilândia/Distrito Federal, through the service and actions of CREAS professionals, with the goal of developing an action plan to address this issue.The specific objectives were to: identify the most commonly reported types of violence against children in the Ceilândia/DF region; analyze the profile of child victims of violence attended at CREAS; present an explanatory overview of the most frequent types of violence recorded and addressed by the socio-assistance unit; and investigate the work carried out by CREAS professionals in confronting violence and rights violations against children to improve service quality and focus attention on the victims, specifically children aged 0 to 12. To achieve these objectives, the research was based on a qualitative methodology, using document analysis of CREAS data, including monthly service records (RMA) and internal demand management spreadsheets, as well as interviews with professionals directly involved and their managers who indirectly contribute to the service and support for families affected by violence against children. The time frame encompasses the past 10 years of CREAS service, from 2013 to 2023. As a final technical product, an Action Plan was developed, titled Specialized Technical Guide for the Care of Child Victims of Violence in the Ceilândia Territory. The guide provides practical guidance for assisting children supported by CREAS services, aiming to improve the quality of services offered to this population and provide information that can encourage macro-level actions, such as public policies aimed at reducing social inequality and rights violations. The guide also emphasizes the need for continuous training for professionals working directly with this vulnerable population.The findings revealed that the profile of victimized children primarily involves those from femaleheaded single-parent families, living in socioeconomic vulnerability, and predominantly Black and Brown. Neglect emerged as the most common form of violence, followed by sexual abuse, the latter being the most frequently addressed by the unit. Regarding gender, girls are the main victims of sexual abuse, while boys are more frequently victims of neglect. The ages of the victims varied, without a specific pattern. The professionals' approach showed a protective and legally aware stance but was hindered by macrosocial issues affecting the quality and timeliness of services provided to child victims of violence
