Bunk beds will be banned in children’s holiday camps

Bunk beds will no longer be permitted in holiday camps in the Republic of Moldova. The ban is set out in a new health regulation, which lays down requirements regarding accommodation, food, drinking water, medical care and child safety.

The document also introduces standards regarding the space required per child, as well as new rules for out-of-school educational institutions. These apply to music, dance, theatre and fine arts schools, sports institutions and other children’s activity centres, as well as holiday camps.

According to the draft, each child at a camp must have at least 150 square metres of space. In sports areas, the minimum requirement is 20 square metres per child. Furthermore, camps must have drinking water fountains, toilets and first-aid facilities.

The regulations also set out a timetable for extracurricular activities, which may take place between 08:00 and 20:00. After every 30–45 minutes of continuous activity, children must be given a break of at least 10 minutes.

Separate provisions cover the accessibility of buildings for children with special educational needs and for those with disabilities.

The new regulation will replace the health standards approved in 2010. It is due to come into force one month after the Government’s decision is adopted and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova.
