Youth care centres and youth sociotherapy centres outdoors each day, and recommended that the catalogue of the rights of the juveniles laid down in the statutes of the visited establishments should be extended to include the right to daily outdoor activities. 7.  Right to religious practices The most frequently observed breach of the right of juveniles to freedom of thought, conscience and denomination was an obligation imposed on juveniles to participate in religious practices, such as daily prayer or Sunday mass.102. However, it should be noted that the NPM also recorded opposite situations where restrictions were imposed on religious practices of juveniles103. For example, a juvenile wishing to participate in a Sunday mass was not allowed to do so for the lack of a person who could accompany the juvenile to the church. The freedom to profess or adopt religion of personal choice is provided for in a number of acts of international law (Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers to member states on the European Rules for juvenile offenders subject to sanctions or measures, Convention on the Rights of the Child, UN Rules), but above all the right is ensured in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (Article 53). Therefore, each time the NPM reminded that each establishment is obliged to respect the right of juveniles to freedom of denomination and conscience, and to organise the work at the centre so as to take into consideration the juveniles’ freedom of choice of their religion and their freedom to participate in religious practices. 8. Staff Personnel of the visited establishments had adequate qualifications and improved their skills by attending additional courses and trainings. However, the representatives of the Mechanism stressed that the personnel of youth care centres and youth sociotherapy centres should also attend trainings on the application of coercive measures and on the protection of rights of the child as stipulated in international and national law. Undoubtedly, such establishments should seek to employ therapists with additional qualifications in psychotherapy of children and youth and in clinical psychology.
