The booklet, written in plain and legible language, accessible to all who are interested throughout their stay in the establishment, furnishes juvenile residents with the information which is essential in everyday life in the shelter, such as the time when physician is on duty in the emergency room or when it is possible to talk with individual members of the staff (JS in Chojnice). –  Police emergency centres for children –  Shortening the length of stay juveniles in a centre by the time of exchanging official correspondence between a court and District Educational Supervision Team (DEST). Should a court issue a decision to detain a juvenile in a juvenile detention centre or in a juvenile shelter, and should a DEST receive a written request for designating an establishment where a juvenile may be placed, the head of ECC contacts by telephone the relevant DEST and asks them to specify the establishment which can accept the juvenile. The acquired information about a free place in the said establishment is then sent to a competent court (ECC in Lublin); –  Employing in ECC an officer who holds a degree in psychology. The presence of a psychologist is crucial in minimising the stress suffered by detained juveniles and in restoring their feeling of safety – thanks to appropriate psychological measures. Moreover, providing juveniles detained in ECC with psychological care contributes to minimising the number of extraordinary incidents (ECC in Poznań); –  Organising a competition for juveniles detained in ECC to design a logo of the establishment. In the opinion of the National Preventive Mechanism, this initiative extends the scope of cultural and educational activities aimed at juveniles, it activates them to engage in healthy competition, and makes their stay more attractive (ECC in Ostrów Wlkp.). 141
