National Human Rights Commission of Korea Annual Report 2019 school’s referring the student to the school’s Committee to Counter Violence because the student’s behaviors were “aggressive.” It was found that the school lacked a general understanding of the behavioral impairments of students with developmental disabilities, suggesting a need to educate the investigated teacher in human rights. Given an urgent need to improve institutions and practices, the Commission on July 5 recommended the Minister of Education to develop a manual explaining how schools can respond to various “challenging behaviors” of students with developmental disabilities, and to the Committee to Counter Violence, either as an offender or a victim. In 2019, the Commission conducted on-site inspections of nursing homes for infants with disabilities and those for persons with mental disabilities. The Commission inspected nine nursing homes for infants with disabilities. There was a more urgent need to do so as young children with disabilities cannot report human rights violations on their own. Inspections were made of facility environments, infants’ right to life, right to protection, right to development, and right to participation, and included questionnaires for facility workers, families of infants, and foster home guardians. The Commission will review the findings and make recommendations for improvements. Inspections of nursing homes for persons with mental disabilties showed that these facilities admit patients using the same procedures as mental healthcare facilities and have specific rules on communication, leave, and visits, behavioral control measures, and work treatments despite the fact that these facilities are functionally different from mental healthcare facilities in that they provide living assistance for those with chronic ailments. In 2019, the Commission inspected nine facilities that were not inspected in 2013 and 2017. Based on the findings, the Commission will make an analysis of the types of human rights violations that occur in these nursing homes and recommend medium- to long-term improvement plans. 97 Key Activities B.
