BEAUVAIS, SAINTE-GAUBURGE, FRAGNY, L'HÔPITAL-LE-GRAND (REC.) 2009 from the Minister of Justice and on 7th October 2009 from the Minister of National Education. Finally, the report of the L'Hôpital-leGrand facility was sent to the Minister of Justice on 16th September 2010 to which he responded on 5th November 2010. Following this procedure and in accordance with Article 10 of the law n°2007-1545 of 30th October 2007, the Contrôleur général des lieux de privation de liberté makes the following recommendations: 1/ Firstly, these are children who are continuously faced with serious and accumulated difficulties and who are assigned to these centres by the judicial authority. Placement in these institutions most often reflects the failure of other existing alternative care services. The law requires the young offenders’ institutions to provide “educational follow-up” services. Within these institutions, however, part of the personnel consists of individuals “acting” as educators, sometimes with no qualifications, and with little or no training in supervising minors.

While it must be acknowledged that the recruiting of educators, for contextual or geographic reasons, is difficult, the fact of the matter is that the training of competent educators is a requirement for these young offenders’ institutions that must be rapidly met. At the very least this could be accomplished through ongoing training, the existence of which should be included in the specifications of these facilities, for those agents who must feel the need. Everyone’s efforts and real individual successes cannot replace this need. 2/ The respect of a minor’s right to be involved in the decisions that affect his/her life and the respect of the rights of his/her parents to be consulted about such decisions requires a great deal of clarity on how measures for dealing with the young offender are designed. To this end, the applicable texts foresee that a document on 63
