To raise children who live away from their parents after being abused in a more family-friendly environment, municipalities set numerical targets for the proportion of children left in foster care, many of which have reached national targets. As a result, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare had to ask the local government to review it individually.
Of the children who live away from their parents due to abuse etc., the percentage entrusted to foster parents = 20.5% as of the end of March last year, the lowest among developed countries, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has set a numerical target And ask local governments for their efforts.
However, as of the 5th of last month, 90% of the numerical targets set by each municipality based on this are known to have not reached the national targets.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare issued a notification to local governments nationwide on this month, stating that "it is difficult to overlook the situation where the target of foster parent trust rate remains at the current level." In addition to announcing the announcement, the company will scrutinize the promotion plan and request that it be individually reviewed.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, "particularly in pre-school age, it is time to establish a foundation for attachment, and we would like you to understand the significance of national targets set based on that."
