(Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yoshinori Koike), provider of the ICT service 'CoDMON' for childcare, education, and therapy facilities, announced that as of May 25, 2026, it has made the 'Employee Training Materials for the Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act' published by the Children and Families Agency available on its free online training platform, 'Codmon College,' with the agency's permission.

These videos are accessible to business operators and employees of childcare, education, and therapy facilities across Japan by registering for a free account on Codmon College. By creating an accessible environment for national training on this law, Codmon aims to support the learning necessary to protect children's safety nationwide.

### Highlights of this Release

- The Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act takes effect in December 2026, requiring prior dissemination to employees.
- All 32 training videos provided by the Children and Families Agency are now free on Codmon College.
- Operators can centrally manage staff training completion status via Codmon College.

### Background: Implementation of the Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act

The 'Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act' (officially: Act on Measures to Prevent Sexual Violence Against Children by School Establishers and Private Education/Childcare Business Operators, commonly known as 'Japan's version of DBS') is a law promoting efforts to prevent sexual violence in settings involving children, effective December 25, 2026. Schools, licensed childcare centers, accredited nursery schools, and foster care facilities are mandatory subjects, while after-school clubs and cram schools can also become subject to the system through accreditation by the Children and Families Agency. With approximately seven months until implementation, childcare, education, and therapy sites are accelerating their preparation for system understanding and practical compliance.

### The Initiative

Codmon College is a free online training platform aimed at enhancing the qualifications and professionalism of childcare facility staff. The platform now features all 32 training video materials published by the Children and Families Agency. The content covers a wide range of topics, including standard videos for employees (including English-subtitled versions), point-summary videos, explanatory videos for operators, and information management measures. While these materials are available on the agency's YouTube channel, registering for Codmon College allows them to be viewed directly from the platform.

### Benefits of Viewing on Codmon College

Viewing these training videos on Codmon College offers two main benefits for facility operators and staff:

1. Management of Completion Status: Operators can centrally manage staff progress, and employees can track their required training to prevent omissions.
2. In-Service Training via ICT: Facilities using Codmon's ICT services can view these videos directly within the system used for daily operations, allowing training during business hours.

### Future Outlook

As the Child Sexual Violence Prevention Act is a vital law for all childcare facilities, Codmon remains committed to supporting smooth legal operation across the entire childcare, education, and therapy industry, beyond just its 25,000+ client facilities.
