CRC/C/SRB/CO/1 page 11 Corporal punishment 46. The Committee is particularly concerned that corporal punishment in the family remains lawful and continues to be a widely used disciplinary method. 47. The Committee urges the State party to expressly prohibit and enforce by law all corporal punishment in the family. The State party is further encouraged to undertake awareness-raising campaigns and education programmes on non-violent forms of discipline, to conduct research into the prevalence of corporal punishment of children in the family and other settings, and to enforce the law. 5. Basic health and welfare (arts. 6; 18,para. 3; 23; 24; 26; 27,paras. 1-3, of the Convention) Children with disabilities 48. The Committee welcomes the efforts made by the State party to assist children with disabilities and their families, the start of pilot progammes and projects to provide inclusive education, and the steps aimed at the de-institutionalization of children and the shift towards family-based care. The Committee welcomes steps taken to immediately enforce the prohibition of placement of children at the institution in Kulina following a ministerial decision of 9 May 2008. However, the Committee is concerned at the large number of children with disabilities, and in particular mental disability, who still remain institutionalized, often together with adults. The Committee is also concerned that many children with disabilities are not included in the mainstream education system and at the general lack of resources and specialized staff for these children. It is also concerned at the prevailing societal attitudes which are conducive to stigmatization of children with disabilities. 49. With regard to the efforts made by the State party to provide equal opportunities for the full participation of children with disabilities in all spheres of life, the Committee draws the attention of the State party to the United Nations Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (General Assembly resolution 48/96) and the Committee’s general comment No. 9 (2006) on the rights of children with disabilities. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to: (a) Collect adequate statistical data on children with disabilities and use such disaggregated data in developing a comprehensive and specific national policy on disability which promotes equal opportunities of persons with disabilities in society; (b) Ensure that public education policy and school curricula reflect in all their aspects the principle of full participation and equality and include children with disabilities in the mainstream school system to the extent possible and, where necessary, establish special education programmes tailored to their special needs; (c) Monitor and evaluate the quality of services for children with disabilities and raise awareness of all services available; (d) Provide children with disabilities with access to adequate social and health services, including early intervention, psychological and counselling services;
