Child Abuse Prevention Performance Report Meeting

Gyeonggi Province held the ‘3-Year Performance Report Meeting on Gyeonggi Province’s Child Abuse Response System’ on the 23rd at the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute in Yeongtong, Suwon, organized by the Gyeonggi Province Regional Child Protection Agency, in commemoration of Child Abuse Prevention Day (November 19).

The child abuse response system is a policy that publicizes the reporting and investigation of child abuse and strengthens the state’s responsibility, implemented from October 2020 following the government’s announcement of the ‘Inclusive State Child Policy’ in 2019.

The performance report meeting was prepared to report on the efforts made over the past three years since the full-scale reform of the child abuse response system, where city and county offices, the police, and child protection agencies enhanced their expertise for institutional stabilization and established new cooperation systems between agencies in various fields.

Min So-young, head of the Child Policy Evaluation Center at the Child Rights Guarantee Institute, who presented at the meeting, reviewed the macro-level changes in the child abuse response system under the theme ‘Changes in the Child Abuse Response System and Three Years’ and proposed practical measures for the field.

Additionally, Kim Mi-ae, team leader at Pyeongtaek City Hall, Police Inspector Bae Yoon-soo from the Police Human Resources Development Institute, and Shin Jae-hak, director of the Gyeonggi Yongin Child Protection Agency, presented operational achievements and development directions in each child protection system sector.

Yoon Young-mi, Director of the Women and Family Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, emphasized, "The changed system was able to be stably established through organic cooperation and communication between the public and private sectors," and added, "Gyeonggi Province will continue to make efforts for the substantial operation of the child abuse response system in the future."
