Child and youth welfare facilities Sanitary and hygiene standards were sometimes considerably lower in basic provision facilities for unaccompanied minor refugees than those typical for the respective locality. One reason for this is that unaccompanied minor refugees are often not given sufficient support even though they are just beginning to develop self-organisation and self-responsibility skills. The same applies to preparing meals, as an understanding of healthy eating habits and an interest in cooking have first to be kindled. Sufficient support in going to important appointments (e.g. with the Public Employment Service, youth coaching, therapy offers, grinds, the doctor etc.) can only be provided if the conditions for comprehensive refugee social work are in place. Right to education, participation and inclusion Reports from the commissions indicate that many of the adolescent refugees are unable to exercise their right to education, participation and inclusion. The commissions reported that on unannounced visits they encountered unaccompanied minor refugees who just lay on their bed all day and voluntarily spoke of unfulfilled (sometimes unfulfillable) expectations, rejection, powerlessness and fear of the future. Minors of school age attend class, but there are no adequate training and further training offers everywhere for all of the others. German courses are only held once or twice a week in some regions. Faster integration as well as simpler communication with the support staff and the surroundings outside of the accommodation for unaccompanied minor refugees is thus difficult. In addition, staff in many facilities do not have the necessary language skills. In line with the UNHCR, the NPM recommends making it possible to hold daily German classes for unaccompanied minor refugees. Forced inactivity represents lost time in the biography of the adolescents and impedes their integration sustainably. The situation of those affected can become particularly uncertain from the end of their 18th year when they have to leave the accommodation for unaccompanied minor refugees and are not sufficiently prepared for an independent life. However, it also needs to be said that a group of the Vienna basic provision facilities are specialised in offering continued support for unaccompanied minor refugees. XX  The child’s wellbeing must be the main focus in supporting unaccompanied minor refugees. The financing of the care facilities for unaccompanied minor refugees and the standards of reception conditions under the Basic Provision Agreement must be aligned with those of the socio-pedagogic facilities. XX  Special attention must be given to the need to treat traumatisation and psychosocial knock-on effects. Qualified staff must be trained in recognising anomalies and symptoms so that they can quickly initiate help measures. XX  The training and education opportunities for minor asylum seekers who are no longer of school age should be improved as a matter of principle. 82
