[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 12th that it has developed various programs such as the ‘Child Rights Senior Teacher System,’ ‘Customized Infant and Toddler Human Rights Education by Target Group,’ and ‘Group Counseling on Discipline Topics’ to prevent child abuse in daycare centers, and has also published special lectures and guides as countermeasures.


On the 14th, Seoul will hold a special lecture for childcare staff at the Seoul Childcare Comprehensive Support Center under the theme ‘Easy-to-Understand Infant and Toddler Development and Positive Interaction for the Prevention of Child Abuse.’ In this lecture, factors causing abuse in daycare centers, such as ‘lack of child guidance skills by teachers’ and ‘teachers’ coercive attitudes,’ will be examined, and topics on ‘infant and toddler development’ and ‘positive interaction’ to support the formation of teacher-child relationships will be discussed.


Additionally, Seoul has published the ‘Guidebook 3 for Child Rights Senior Teachers’ to prevent child abuse. The guidebook reviews daycare center routines from the perspective of infant and toddler human rights and was developed as an in-house autonomous supervision resource to practice routine operations that respect the human rights of infants and toddlers.



Kang Hee-eun, head of childcare at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, said, "We have held special lectures for daycare childcare staff and developed autonomous supervision materials for daycare centers based on real cases," adding, “Since the lectures and materials were prepared with topics and content that childcare staff can fully empathize with, we hope they will be actively utilized in daycare centers to help create a healthy childcare environment.”
