MONITORING METHODOLOGY F. FOLLOW UP ON REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The follow up phase can take several forms: ʺʺ Exchange of information and operational discussions through periodic follow-up meetings or roundtables gathering all the stakeholders; ʺʺ Exchange of periodic official letters; ʺʺ Announced or unannounced follow-up visit(s); ʺʺ Report of the status of the recommendations (successfully implemented, pending, not yet implemented) in the annual report of the monitoring body. In the absence of the explicit or implicit commitment of the authorities to consider the report and recommendations, other kinds of enforcement measures will have to be taken by the monitoring body, such as: ʺʺ Refer to a higher level of authority and/or other authorities who are likely to put pressure on those responsible for the concerned facility; ʺʺ Make the report available to the media, civil society or international organisations who may be able to influence the implementation of the recommendations; ʺʺ Approach parliamentarians or other monitoring bodies under the authority of the Parliament. In addition, the monitoring body shall ensure that feedback is given to the children that have expressed the willingness to be informed of the follow-up of the visit. In this case, it is very important to be sure that the oral or written communication is made in an appropriate and comprehensive language and that no false expectations are raised for the children. 89 4
