CRC/C/15/Add.191 page 9 (c) Improve social assistance and support to families through advice and education so as to promote positive child-parent relationships; (d) Provide adequate training to social workers; (e) Strengthen preventive measures, such as supporting the role of families and communities, in order to help eliminate the social conditions leading to such problems as delinquency, crime and drug addiction; (f) Consider increasing financial support for families with children living in poverty under the Poverty Reduction Strategy 2001 at the national, regional and local levels. Corporal punishment 41. The Committee welcomes the new Protection from Domestic Violence Act 2001, but remains concerned that it has not yet been implemented. 42. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Conduct a study to assess the nature and extent of ill-treatment, abuse and neglect of children in the home, and design policies and programmes to address them; (b) Establish effective procedures and mechanisms to receive, monitor and investigate complaints, including by intervening where necessary, and investigate and prosecute instances of ill-treatment and all forms of domestic violence, including corporal punishment, ensuring that the abused child is not victimized in legal proceedings and that his/her privacy is protected; (c) Train teachers, law enforcement officials, care workers, judges and health professionals in the identification, reporting and management of all kinds of violence against children; (d) Take into consideration the recommendations of the Committee adopted at its days of general discussion on violence against children (CRC/C/100, para. 688 and CRC/C/111, paras. 701-745); (e) Carry out public education campaigns about the negative consequences of ill-treatment of children and promote positive, non-violent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment. Recovery of maintenance 43. The Committee is concerned that State assistance to single parents is inadequate and that the system for recovering child maintenance is inefficient and allows for delays in payments, sometimes lasting several years.
