Mayor Yamanaka of Yokohama City said, "I am very sorry that more than a year has passed before administrative guidance requesting improvement was made while confirming that there was inappropriate childcare by childcare workers at a childcare facility in Yokohama City. I don't think so," he apologized.
In August two years ago, at a certified children's center in Yokohama City, a nursery teacher at the time repeatedly grabbed a child's chin with his finger. We gave administrative guidance to ask for.
Regarding inappropriate childcare, Yokohama City confirmed the video as of December 2018, but the content was not sufficiently shared within the department, and it took more than a year before administrative guidance was given. I know.
Regarding this, Mayor Yamanaka of Yokohama City apologized at a press conference on the 8th, saying, "I am very sorry that I could not respond appropriately to the children and guardians who are the parties involved." .
It was last month that the mayor received a report from the department in charge of the matter.
The city will set up a dedicated consultation desk from the 1st of next month to respond to consultations from parents and others when there is suspected inappropriate childcare. After receiving the report, I would like to promptly proceed with the creation of a manual on the procedures for responding and the rules for sharing information."
