| As the age of ownership of smartphones continues to decline and communication through social media becomes more diverse, the number of attacks and slander continues to increase. The brunt of this is relentlessly directed at the teachers and staff who support the education of the children who will be the future of Japan. |
| As educators, teachers and staff are in the position of protecting children, and are also in a position to meet the expectations of their parents. As a result, there is a tendency for people to be forced to put up with it, unable to speak up even when they are in a situation where they should be protected. |
| Therefore, Addish is developing a system to detect posts that have been slandered by faculty and staff on the Internet, and Dial Service is a hotline service staffed by experts that provides a point of contact for those who are suffering from problems or mental health issues. We will provide. |

| Addish Co., Ltd. School Guardian Division Business Manager Rina Misumi |
| It has been 17 years since we started the “Net Patrol Project for Schools” to create an environment where children can use the Internet in a healthy manner. One day, I heard that you yourself were worried about slander on the internet. We thought there was something we could do for the teachers who support children's education, so we collaborated with Dial Service, a leading telephone consultation service, to discover and take measures to address defamatory comments on the Internet. We will support the psychological safety of teachers by providing everything from support to a hotline where teachers can feel free to discuss their concerns. |
