limitations as well as lack of knowledge and legal regulations, there are no trainings for police officers on educational work with juveniles organised by external entities.) The visiting persons focused also on gender diversity of staff, who in the opinion of the Committee for the Prevention of Torture prevents ill-treatment in such facilities especially as far as juveniles are concerned. The presence of both male and female staff may have positive influence in respect of care and the sense of normality in such a facility. Gender diversity of staff allows for their proper deployment for problematic tasks as for examples searches55. NPM reported that in the visited facilities searchings are made by a person of the same gender. In case if only male police officers are on duty, a girl is searched by a woman police officer from other division. 7.2.
