“Japanese version of DBS” Parents of children with disabilities request early introduction

Parents of children with disabilities visit the Children and Families Agency regarding the introduction of the ``Japanese version of DBS'', a system that verifies that people who work with children do not have a history of sexual crimes. We have submitted a request to expedite the introduction of the system to ensure that the system is protected.

The Japanese version of DBS, which the government is aiming to introduce, requires people who work with children to confirm that they have no history of sexual crimes, in order to protect children from sexual crimes. Representatives of organizations made up of parents and others visited the Children and Families Agency and handed over a written request to Kato, the Minister in charge of Children's Policy.

In this case, ``Children with disabilities cannot raise their voices and ask for help from those around them, cannot run away, and even if they complain to the police, they cannot testify, so it is difficult for them to proceed with the investigation.'' It's difficult.''

In addition,

▽The Japanese version of DBS should be introduced as soon as possible, and

▽A wide range of facilities used by children with disabilities will be subject to mandatory checks such as confirmation that there is no history of sexual offenses to protect children with

disabilities. I'm asking you to.

Regarding the "Japanese version of DBS," the government postponed submitting the bill to the extraordinary Diet session last October, and has continued to consider it while taking into account opinions within the Liberal Democratic Party, and has decided to submit the bill to the regular Diet session from the 26th. That's what I'm aiming for.

Saori Tsuchida, the group's representative, said, ``I think people around them need to protect their children as they are unable to speak out due to their disabilities, but it is difficult for parents to monitor them 24 hours a day.With the introduction of the Japanese version of DBS, children are now able to have a place to spend time after school. "I would like to see progress being made to create an environment where children can spend their time with peace of mind."
