In a bid to enhance child protection measures, a learning institute in Tokyo has installed ceiling cameras to reduce blind spots. The “School IE Takanawa Branch” has taken proactive steps to participate in a system that checks the criminal records of individuals to safeguard children from sexual violence. This initiative comes in the wake of discussions surrounding the “Japanese version of the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)” system, which the learning institute industry is keen on joining.
However, it is important to note that the Japanese version of the DBS system has its limitations. It is not a direct mechanism to prevent sexual crimes committed by individuals with no criminal history. As a result, the industry is actively exploring effective strategies to address this issue.
The learning institute’s move to install ceiling cameras and actively participate in child protection measures has been well-received. The initiative aims to create a safer environment for children and provide effective guidance. The industry’s commitment to finding viable solutions to protect children from sexual violence is commendable, and it reflects a growing awareness of the importance of child safety in educational settings.
