The minister reacted to the facts of possible violence against children in the educational rehabilitation center in Lviv region.
The report on possible facts of violence that took place in one of the special schools in the Lviv region is shocking. And obviously, it is necessary to establish all the circumstances and bring to justice all the guilty parties,
Zholnovich emphasized that all children should study and grow in a safe space.
In view of this, she instructed the National Social Service to conduct inspections in all institutions where children live around the clock, with the aim of identifying possible facts of violence against them or violation of other rights.
For this purpose, the service has developed a special questionnaire in order to detect such violations in an ecological way, without injuring the feelings of children,
Zholnovich also noted that it is better for all children in Ukraine, even if they have special educational needs, to be able to study closer to their homes and return home every evening.
Unfortunately, such children are now forced to be sent to special schools, of which there are only a few in the region. It is clear that it is impossible to get to them every day, so what is needed are not separate institutions, but classes in general schools. Then parents will be able to choose an educational institution near their home,
The government official also called for an increase in the number of family forms of education in communities and the development of inclusive and special classes in general schools, so that it is not necessary to apply for educational services far from home and that it is not provided with the need to live at school all the time.
