65 Visits in 2019 Nymogården, Stendi Region North The institution’s clear methodical profile appeared to ensure that staff underwent solid, systematic training, and that a uniform practice was in place. Management considered the institution a treatment centre and emphasised that it was not a home. This is something the Ombudsman criticises in the report, as every child welfare institution should be a home for the children who are placed there. The method that governed the running of the institution was characterised by stringent rules and procedures, with extensive house rules and ­procedures. This led to many restrictions in the day-to-day life of the adolescents, and extensive use of less intrusive coercion. The adolescents’ right to freedom of movement, electronic ­communication and the right to privacy were restricted in ways that are not in accordance with the child welfare legislation. Findings during the visit indicated that illegal use of physical force had taken place. We identified shortcomings in documenting the grounds for use of coercion and force, and also in the procedures for reviewing situations where coercive measures had been used and measures to prevent the use of coercion. This applied both to use of force and coercion based on an ­administrative decision and the use of force without a decision. The Parliamentary Ombudsman’s impression is that there was good cooperation between Jong Youth Centre, the child welfare service and the child and adolescent psychiatry units. The adolescents’ health appeared to be taken care of in a responsible manner. The report from the visit will be finalised in the course of 2020.
