Amendment to the teacher's manual for abuse handling Chiba Noda's abused death November 29, 18:16
In response to the submission of a report by a third-party committee that verified a case in which a fourth-year elementary school girl was abused by her parents and died in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, For the first time in 12 years, we revised the guide that summarizes the actions that faculty and staff should take.
In a report compiled by a third-party committee in Chiba Prefecture that verified the administrative response in this case, Noda City Board of Education etc. handed over a copy of the questionnaire that the girl appealed for violence from the father to the father himself Or pointed out problems such as having not confirmed the safety even though they were absent from school for a long time.
Based on these, the prefectural board of education revised the guide which compiled the correspondence which the staff should take to problems such as child abuse for the first time in 12 years.
The revised guide calls for multiple staff to respond to intimidating demands and violence from parents, and to take systematic actions with police and lawyers.
In addition, if you do not attend school after a long holiday, or if you are absent for more than 7 days even if you are notified of absence from your parents, etc., you should promptly share information with relevant organizations to confirm safety. It is said.
In addition, it is also required to have a staff in charge of abuse handling in the school who will be leaders in cooperation with teachers, communities and related organizations. The prefectural board of education says, “I think it will be easier to collaborate with the guide. In the future, I would like to be able to respond to the organization without giving up to intimidating demands.”

The child guidance center did not place importance on the diagnosis of doctors, etc., and the decision to cancel the temporary protection of the girl, and after that, the situation where the safety of the girl became a concern, did not take measures to protect again.
