Abstract
In Honor of Prof. Fumio TOKOTANI
Although Singapore has implemented the necessary policies and measures to tackle family violence issues including child abuse and has been gradually gaining a high reputation in this regard amongst Asian countries, unfortunately little is known about this in Japan at the present stage. Since there are some cultural and social similarities between both countries, it would be useful for Japan to refer to Singapore’s preceding policies and measures on family violence issues in designing its own policy. Therefore, this article aims to eximine the legal structure of Singapore’s Children and Young Persons Act, as well as actual approaches and measures to protect abused children in Singapore so that Japanese policymakers can learn from Singapore’s experiences. One of the pronounced characteristics of Singapore’s method is positive utilization of specialists of family violence working in the Child Protection Specialist Centres set up by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and run by NGOs. The Child Protection Service (CPT) of MSF employs 3 different phases in order to protect abused children and guarantee children’s safety, and the CPT chooses one of these phases depending on the seriousness of the abuses when dealing with cases. It also employs multiagency cooperation with the police, Youth Courts and relevant NGOs.
