• F
ormulation of very detailed criteria for the evaluation and grading of
juveniles’ school achievements85. The criteria are described in Chapter
VIIIa of the Centre’s Internal Regulations. The transparent and clear criteria are, undoubtedly, an important instrument to prevent subjective
and unfair evaluation of juveniles, which may be considered as degrading
treatment.
• Extensive catalogue of educational and recreational activities, including:
numerous thematic groups, sports activities also outside the establishment (swimming pool activities, excursions, participation in regional and
national sports events, holiday trips, canoeing, hiking and cycling trips,
additional tuition for juveniles with learning deficiencies)86.
• Promotion of volunteer work among juvenile residents87: they may provide support, as volunteers, to various local institutions - hospices, social
welfare homes, kindergartens, special schools, sociotherapy centres, and
specialized foster families.
• Juveniles’ participation in charity events, such as food collection actions,
support to the charity action named the Great Orchestra of Christmas
Charity88.
• Numerous therapeutic activities for juveniles (sociotherapy, anti-aggression training, addiction therapies, psychotherapy, music therapy)89.
• Availability of psychiatric consultations within the establishment; psychiatric care is provided by one psychiatrist who visits the establishment
once per month90.
• Organization of annual Good Practice Sharing conferences91 gathering
representatives of various institutions, youth care centres, sociotherapy
centres and other institutions from Dolnośląskie Voivodeship, who can
share their experience in work with juveniles. Thanks to the meetings,
educators, teachers, trainers and psychologists can present their institutions’ work and their own educational successes, and to find out about
ideas and useful solutions applied by others. Over the last years, a group
of regular participants of the conferences has formed; they continue the
cooperation by exchanging correspondence and supporting each other.
