CRC/C/FIN/CO/4 (c) Establish unified national standards for assessment and placement of children in alternative care, care planning and regular review of placement decisions and ensure adequate supervision and monitoring of the situation of children placed in foster homes or institutions; (d) Take necessary measures to ensure the provision of effective, wellpublicized, independent and impartial complaints mechanisms for children without parental care; (e) Ensure that children in institutions are integrated into mainstream education, and that they have access to mental health services when required; and (f) Provide support to biological families with the purpose of subsequent reunification of children in alternative care with their biological families, when possible. The Committee recommends the State party to take into account the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children. Corporal punishment 35. The Committee welcomes the National Action Plan to eliminate corporal punishment of children for the period of 2010–2015. However it remains concerned that corporal punishment continues to be tolerated and used, particularly in the home. 36. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure full implementation of the laws prohibiting corporal punishment in all settings through, inter alia, systematic awareness-raising among adults and children, promotion of appropriate positive, nonviolent forms of discipline and continuous monitoring – paying particular attention to parents of children requiring special support and parents having difficulties in their child-rearing practices. Child abuse and neglect 37. The Committee regrets that no information has been provided by the State party on cases concerning child abuse and neglect or Government policies thereon. 38. The Committee recommends that the State party conduct a study on incidence and prevalence of different forms of child abuse and neglect and State policies to prevent child abuse and neglect, taking into account the Committee’s general comment 13 (2011) on the right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence, and provide more detailed information in this regard in its next periodic report. Follow-up to the United Nations study on violence against children 39. The Committee encourages the State party to: (a) Prioritize elimination of all forms of violence against children, including by ensuring implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations study on violence against children, paying particular attention to gender; (b) Provide information on the implementation by the State party of the recommendations of the study in its next periodic report, particularly those highlighted by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children, namely: (i) The development of a national comprehensive strategy to prevent and address all forms of violence against children; 8
