THEME: Customised projects for individuals1
The Ombudsman’s key conclusions
– In general, the conditions and efforts for the target group of the customised
projects were good.
– The visits shed light on a number of dilemmas, particularly about the balance
between force and care.
Verbal recommendations to the institution’s management
Placement in solitary confinement cell: Recommendation was given to many institutions to increase their focus on documentation and follow-up in connection with
placement in solitary confinement cell. See the above theme about placement in
solitary confinement cell.
Use of force: A number of institutions were recommended to prepare/revise an
instruction about the use of force and to systematically review and assess statistical information about the use of force and other measures – including that the
institution compares itself with other, similar institutions.
Coercion: A number of institutions were recommended to review and assess statistical information about the use of coercion in the mental health care system –
including that the institution compares itself with other, similar institutions.
1) The term ‘customised projects for individuals’ is used as a general term for special accommodation facilities
for citizens with a behaviour which causes such problems that it cannot be dealt with at, for example, ordinary
specialised accommodation facilities.
