SUMMARY

One of the most complex situations that an organization working with people with ID must face is the existence of abusive situations. How the organization responds from the outset will be vital for the victim. Her recovery, protection and the consequences of the development of the judicial process will depend to a large extent on it. The intervention in the round table addresses, on the one hand, how the professionals of the residence or sheltered housing that work with the victim should act so that it is a responsible intervention characterized by protection. On the other hand, he explains how he performs his work of evaluation of the abuse, that is to say, what is the process and what elements intervene in the development of the evaluation of the testimonial evidence that concludes with the issuance of a forensic psychological report.
