再登録禁止、最長１０年に　わいせつ保育士対策で法改正―厚労省

　厚生労働省は１９日、保育士による児童へのわいせつ行為を防止するため、禁錮以上の刑などを受けて登録を取り消された保育士について、再登録禁止期間を現行の２年から最長１０年に延ばす方針を固めた。子どもへの性暴力を排除する狙いで、近く開かれる有識者検討会で議論する。まとまれば、来年の通常国会への提出を目指す児童福祉法改正案に関連する規定を盛り込む。
　保育士になるには、資格の取得に加えて、都道府県による登録が必要。禁錮以上の刑か、児童福祉法の規定に基づき罰金に処せられた場合、執行後の２年間は再登録ができない。（2021/11/19-17:28）

Japan's welfare ministry plans to extend the ban period for reregistrations of nursery teachers whose registrations were canceled after they were convicted of sexual assault on children, from the current two years to 10 years at the longest, it was learned on Friday.
   The extension plan will be discussed at a related expert panel in the near future, as the ministry aims to submit a bill to revise the child welfare law during next year's ordinary parliamentary session, informed sources said.
   In Japan, registrations with prefectural governments, in addition to licenses, are necessary for working as nursery teachers.
   The ministry's plan calls for setting the ban period at 10 years for those who were sentenced to prison terms and at three years for those who were punished with fines.
   The ministry is also considering developing a database to allow nursery schools to share information on those who lost their nursery teacher registrations over sexual assaults on children.
