10. Dialogue on the measures taken by the NPM
of the personnel, as well as the building of a separate changing room for the
female staff members.
I requested the head of the holding facility of the Fejér County Police
Headquarters to organise training programmes on the treatment of detainees and their human rights, as well as training sessions on conflict and aggression management for the staff subordinated to him, and to ensure that
the security personnel obtain the knowledge necessary for the professional
handling of devices applied for averting grave danger. He informed me
that the staff directly responsible for performing the tasks related to the detainees, in compliance with the requirements set out in the Holding Facility
Rules, takes part in training and sits for exams on the relevant norms, basic
first aid knowledge, human rights treaties and the relevant international
issues every two years. In addition to this, although in his view, he is not
obliged to do so by any normative provisions, he pays special attention to
the holding of these training sessions.
10.3.7. Follow-up visit at the Platán Integrated Social Institution
of Bács-Kiskun County 242
From the follow-up inquiry into the Platán Integrated Social Institution of
Bács-Kiskun County (hereinafter the “Social Institution”), it was concluded
that the head of the Social Institution and the supervising authority had
not fulfilled the majority of the recommendations specified in report No.
AJB-1686/2015.243 The missed measures are partially a consequence of the
change in the supervising authority that took place in the meantime. The
structural transformation in itself provided no acceptable explanation for
why the majority of improprieties related to fundamental rights, which were
established in 2015, still exist, or in some cases, even aggravated.
In order to ensure the reintegration of the residents of the Social Institution into the mainstream society, I drew attention to that pursuant to Article 19 of the CRPD, persons with disabilities have the right “to live in the
community”. I requested the Director General of the Hungarian DirectorateGeneral for Social Affairs and Child Protection (HDG for SACP, Hungarian
acronym: SZGYF) as the maintainer of the Social Institution to support the
residents with providing opportunities for more independent living, with
getting admitted to residential care homes, as well as with the process of
reintegration into the mainstream society, through assessing all the related
opportunities. In his response, the Director General of the Hungarian Di242
243
Report No AJB-3772/2017.
See Section 8.4.2 of the 2017 annual report regarding report No. AJB-3772/2017. The Social
Institution was first visited by the NPM on June 23, 2015, see report No. AJB-1686/2015.
