PP N PM ANNUAL REPORT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF ACTIVITIES OF THE NPM persons/detainees and their defence lawyers, there can be no one else in this room. During the visit to the Unit, an insight in the Register of Arrested and Detained Persons was made and the superintendent was immediately made aware of the detected irregularities (there were corrections in several places, which was not allowed). In addition, it was found that there was no police officer who was a specialist in criminal law protection of children and juveniles designated to work in the police detention unit. As already stated, during their visit to the police detention unit, members of the NPM debriefed all persons deprived of their liberty who wanted to talk to them, without the presence of any police officers (regardless of whether they had been in police custody or detention). No one complained about the treatment of police officers in the Unit. After the visit, reports with recommendations were made and sent to the Ministry of the Interior. For a better overview and understanding, they are separately presented below. c) Visits to establishments under the authority of the Ministry of Social Policy and Youth In September 2012, the NPM visited two social welfare homes for adult persons with mental impairments: the Home for Adult Persons with Mental Impairments “Bidružica” and the Home for Adult Persons with Mental Impairments Zagreb, “Mirkovec” branch. These are public institutions of social welfare for adult persons with mental impairments founded by the Republic of Croatia. The visits were aimed at establishing the level of restraint of movement within and outside the homes. During the visits, data were collected about how the residents’ privacy was ensured and how their human dignity was protected. All premises where residents were placed or could be placed were examined. The members of the NPM interviewed a large number of residents and staff who could give them relevant information for the purpose of their visit. In addition, insight into the house rules of both institutions and into the files of several residents was gained. All installations and facilities in both homes are extremely orderly. The residents’ dormitories, dining rooms and living rooms are completely open and free to be used by residents. They have daily schedules and they alone decide whether they want to stay in their rooms or not. It was established during both visits that there were insufficient cupboards in the rooms and/or that there were no keys for the cupboards in order to ensure the privacy of the residents. Bathrooms and toilets were in a very orderly condition. 20
