To strengthen its response to child abuse and poverty, the Digital Agency has decided to put in place a system that allows local governments and agencies to quickly share information about children online.
Regarding child abuse and poverty, there are cases where sufficient information is not shared with related organizations such as local governments and child guidance centers, and the response is delayed.
In response to this situation, the Digital Agency has set up a project team made up of deputy ministers of relevant ministries and agencies in order to establish a system that allows local governments and related organizations to quickly share information about children online.
The project team discusses what kind of information is needed, such as records of past abuse damage, attendance at schools, and household tax payment information, in order to grasp the actual situation of children and households, and a concrete system. We are planning to proceed with the examination of the ideal way of.
Deputy Minister Kobayashi Digital, who is the chief of the team, says, "We want to make the best use of data related to children and provide push-type support according to needs."
