Additional Information: 

Teachers are the professionals to whom children most commonly talk about abuse. Research has shown that children who prefer trying to tell through behaviour rather than verbally want their teachers to notice signs such as self-harm, eating disorders, acting out in class, school attendance, and being alone and withdrawn at school. - Office of the Children's Commissioner
