Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people are more likely to be exposed to domestic violence than the rest of the population. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, 28 professionals from the educational sector, aged between 28 and 64 years old ( = 44.5), were interviewed to describe and understand their perspectives on the sector's ability to support, intervene and get involved with LGBTI people and, particularly, with victims or former victims of domestic violence. Through a thematic content analysis, three main themes emerged: (i) life trajectories of LGBTI people; (ii) domestic violence perpetrated against LGBTI people; and (iii) training of the educational sector to intervene with LGBTI people. The results show that Portuguese education professionals are not trained to recognize and intervene with LGBTI people and, in particular, with those who are victims of domestic violence, since they are unaware of the existence of protocols and/or guidelines for detecting and preventing risk situations among students. Furthermore, the curricular plan fails in the coverage of domestic violence and LGBTI-related topics, although the National Strategy for Citizenship Education has been implemented in Portugal since 2017. Findings suggest the need to invest in education professionals' training.
女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和间性人（LGBTI）比一般人更有可能遭受家庭暴力。本研究采用描述性定性方法，对教育领域的 28 名专业人士进行了采访，他们的年龄在 28 岁至 64 岁之间（=44.5），以描述和理解他们对该领域支持、干预和参与 LGBTI 人群，特别是家庭暴力受害者或前受害者的能力的看法。通过主题内容分析，出现了三个主要主题：（i）LGBTI 人群的生活轨迹；（ii）针对 LGBTI 人群的家庭暴力；（iii）教育部门对 LGBTI 人群进行干预的培训。结果表明，葡萄牙教育专业人员没有接受过识别和干预 LGBTI 人群的培训，特别是那些家庭暴力受害者，因为他们不知道存在针对学生的检测和预防风险情况的协议和/或准则。此外，尽管自 2017 年以来葡萄牙已经实施了公民教育国家战略，但课程计划未能涵盖家庭暴力和与 LGBTI 相关的主题。研究结果表明，需要投资于教育专业人员的培训。
