The Council of Mothers proposed to equip all kindergartens with video surveillance

MOSCOW, October 3 - RIA Novosti. Chairman of the Council of Mothers Tatyana Butskaya proposed equipping all kindergartens in Russia with video surveillance systems, ensuring the necessary conditions for storage and access to records.

RIA Novosti has a corresponding appeal addressed to the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergei Kravtsov. As reported in the letter, this initiative came to the organization from a former employee of a private kindergarten and the mother of a two-year-old daughter, concerned about possible cases of violence in kindergartens, which are often not officially recorded.

“The Council of Mothers” supports this proposal and believes that the safety of children in preschool educational organizations is a priority task of state policy... We ask you to consider the possibility of amending the regulations that would require mandatory equipping of all kindergartens (private and public) with video surveillance systems, ensuring the necessary conditions for storage and access to records,” the document says.

Butskaya noted that video surveillance will not only prevent conflict situations, but also objectively record facts of unacceptable treatment of children, as well as protect conscientious employees from unfounded accusations.

In addition, it is proposed to consider the possibility of introducing a mandatory annual medical examination of kindergarten employees by a psychiatrist and narcologist as a condition for admission to work with children.
