In 2016, the NPM has started visiting child welfare institutions and mental health care institutions for children
and young people. New information brochures and
posters have also been developed in Norwegian and
English aimed especially at children and young people.
In addition, a dedicated website has been established
for this target group: www.sivilombudsmannen-ung.
no. The website provides information about what
happens when the NPM pays a visit, the goal of the
visit, questions it may ask and contact information.
The Parliamentary Ombudsman introduced a new
graphic profile in 2016. This entailed a new design for
much of our informational material and publications
– from the annual report and visit reports to templates
for letters and presentations. The work on creating a
new website for the Parliamentary Ombudsman also
got under way in the latter half of 2016. A new website
aims to enable the Ombudsman to communicate
more clearly and effectively about its work, including
the prevention mandate. The work on the new website
will continue in 2017.
