CRC/C/SLV/CO/3-4 55. The Committee recommends that the State party expressly prohibit corporal punishment by law in all settings, taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 8 (2006) on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment. The Committee further recommends that the State party carry out public education campaigns about the negative consequences of corporal punishment of children, and promote positive, non-violent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment. 6. Basic health and welfare (arts. 6; 18, para. 3; 23; 24; 26, and 27, paras. 1-3 of the Convention) Children with disabilities 56. The Committee notes with appreciation the various initiatives taken by the National Council for Comprehensive Attention to Persons with Disabilities (Consejo Nacional de Atención Integral a las Personas con Discapacidad, CONAIPD) aimed at promoting and ensuring equal rights of children with disabilities, including the efforts to integrate children with disabilities into the regular education system. Nevertheless, the Committee regrets that the State party did not succeed in conducting a census to reflect the exact number of children with disabilities, which results in the invisibility of the children and the limited scope of the relevant strategies. The Committee is also concerned that children with disabilities still experience various forms of discrimination. 57. The Committee recommends that the State party continue the measures to protect and promote the rights of children with disabilities, by taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 9 (2006 on the rights of children with disabilities, article 23 of the Convention, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as well as the Inter-American Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against persons with disabilities; and: (a) Continue taking measures to protect and promote the rights of children with disabilities; (b) Make additional efforts in order to collect data and maintain updated and disaggregated information and statistical data about children with disabilities; (c) Establish concrete mechanisms to improve equal access of children with disabilities to education and health services; in this respect, inclusive education should be encouraged as much as possible, and the offer of education for children with disabilities should have as priority concern the special needs of each child; (d) Undertake greater efforts to make available the necessary professional (i.e. disability specialists) and financial resources, especially at the local level and to promote and expand community-based rehabilitation programmes, including parent support groups to ensure that all children with special needs are being taken care of, while working hand in hand with the private sector; (e) Establish systems of early identification and early intervention as part of their health services; (f) Implement the provisions contained in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol.
