Visits, Follow-ups and Results in 2020
One of the buildings of the child welfare institution Nymogården.
received any feedback or taken part in the subse
quent review process. This absence of follow-up
increases the risk of future infringements. We
also found two examples that adolescents, within
the last year, had been injured in connection with
coercive measures at Nymogården. There were no
routines for reporting injuries to adolescents in the
institution’s non-conformance system.
We met adolescents that had been subjected to
continuous and extensive restrictions for several
months. A review of the administrative decisions
concerning restrictions on freedom of movement
in 2019, revealed that many of the decisions were
well-founded; however, some did not contain
documentation as to why the restrictions were
necessary.
An administrative decision to confiscate a youth's
mobile telephone was substantiated in that the
individual had used it to make recordings without
the consent of the staff. These are not grounds that
comply with the requirements that a restriction must
be “necessary out of consideration for the course of
treatment or the purpose of the placement”.
