77 In 2019 there were cases when some authorities and public institutions did not provide the necessary support to the People's Advocate institution, which resulted in exceeding the term of resolving the files: Moara Town Hall, Suceava County, Stăuceni Town Hall, Botosani County, Emergency County Hospital "Sfântul Ioan cel Nou" Suceava, Bosanci Town Hall, Botosani County. Proposals for legislative changes: - Art. 4 paragraph (1) of Law no. 35/2007 regarding the increase of the security in the educational establishments provides as follows: The county councils, the General Council of the Municipality of Bucharest and the local councils allocate, within the approved budgets, financial resources necessary for the realization of the fences, ensuring the security of the buildings of the educational units (...). The phrase "within the approved budgets" limits the possibility of allocating even minimal funds for increasing security in educational establishments (for example, ensuring guard), since local authorities that do not have sufficient financial resources necessary for their proper functioning will not make efforts to allocate the money to implement measures to increase safety in school units in local communities. Solution: delete the phrase "within the approved budgets" and identify the financial resources from the general budget to cover these expenses; - creating the legal framework that will reduce the existing ratio of 1/800, representing a school psychologist to 800 students. Purpose: to reduce cases of violence in schools and to provide the optimum framework for psychological counseling of students in various educational units; - by the Government Decision no. 502/2017 regarding the organization and functioning of the commission for child protection, was repealed the Government Decision no. 1437/2004 regarding the organization and the methodology of operation of the commission for child protection, after this modification the representative of the territorial police inspectorate no longer being member in the commission for child protection, specialized body, without legal personality, of the county council, respectively of the local council of the Bucharest Municipality, with decision-making activity in the matter of protecting and promoting the rights of the child. The commission for child protection remained with seven members, as provided by the old regulations, but its composition has changed as follows: the representative of the territorial police inspectorate is no longer member, and was added as member a new representative of the private bodies accredited, proposed by the secretary of the county, respectively of the Bucharest Municipality, so that at this moment, according to Art. 3 paragraph (1) letter f) the commission for child protection operates with two representatives of the accredited private bodies, proposed by the county secretary, respectively of the Bucharest Municipality – members. Solution: the need to promote a normative act to create the legal framework for the re-establishment of the membership of a representative belonging to the territorial police inspectorates, in the child protection commission. This measure could contribute to a better management of the situation of children predisposed to leave the residential type centers of the general directorates for social assistance and child protection, as well as to identify more effective methods of preventing such cases. ● Territorial Office Târgu-Mureș: solved a number of 151 complaints, granted 750 hearings, answered 256 telephone calls through the dispatch service, carried out 97 awareness raising activities / collaboration with other authorities, proceeded ex officio in 12 cases, conducted 12 investigations and made 11 recommendations.
