42 NORWEGIAN PARLIAMENTARY OMBUDSMAN National Preventive Mechanism ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Hedmark youth and family centre, unit Vien 4-25 in 2017, this restriction lasted for three days. The institution did not register administrative decisions limiting freedom of movement in these cases. When the staff decide to deny an adolescent access to the community rooms, this is a restriction on their freedom of movement for which an administrative decision should be made. The Vien 4-25 unit requested police assistance on several occasions in 2016 and 2017. It is a highly invasive measure to use police assistance inside an institution, and that the institution cannot use the police to carry out its own duties. Physical force had only been used on a few occasions in 2017, but that force had been used extensively in recent years in relation to some adolescents. Extensive measures appeared to have been implemented by the unit to take care of these adolescents, but the systematic nature of the situations that resulted in the use of physical force gave cause for concern about whether their health issues could be fully addressed within the framework of a child welfare institution. It was found during the visit that the unit could strengthen systematic efforts to prevent use of force together with the individual adolescents. It also emerged that the unit did not systematically involve the adolescents in the preparation of plan for their stay ('plan for akuttoppholdet'). The management described this plan as the most important document for the individual adolescents’ stay. Vien 4-25 cooperated closely with the local lower secondary school, but stated that it was more challenging to provide a relevant education for adolescents of upper secondary school age if they cannot attend their local school.
