This work seeks to understand the social representations by actors from the System of Guarantee of Rights - SGD about prevention and combating of domestic violence against children and adolescents. We interviewed four tutelary counselors, a prosecutor and two technicians. We chose the dialectical method and based our analysis on the Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici (2003; 1978). The results show how the SGD actors actualize their practices based both on legal requirements and in the social representations that they share about domestic violence. In addition, different ways of the actors' performances are associated with the existence of some differences in these representations. Thinking about the daily practices of the actors raised by these findings can contribute to improve the performance and operation of the SGD, in view of implementing alternative combating and prevention of the phenomenon of domestic violence against children and adolescents.
