persons recommended installation of working ventilation in some bedrooms because of mould on ceilings. The principal of the establishment assured that rooms will be successively renovated and re-painted. With regard to respect of the right to intimacy of a juvenile, the visiting persons recommended installation of fixed partitions between showers and curtains. They focused their attention on the necessity to add missing ladders and upper security bars in beds (e.g. YCC No 3 in Łódź, YCC No 1 in Łódź, YCC in Jaworze, YCC in Załuskowo, YCC in Kielce, YCC in Podzamcze.) According to the information given by the Principal of the Salesian Care Centre in Różanystok, during vacations, all necessary renovation works, mentioned in the mechanism representatives report, have been completed. During a return visit in the Salesian Care Centre in Trzciniec, it has been stated that all recommendation concerning renovation works has been realised in the establishment. It was recommended to provide clothes relevant to the current season. In the opinion of the visiting persons, the juveniles clothes (shorts, T-shirts) were not warm enough for winter. They demanded to furnish bedrooms with bedside lamps, as juveniles used lamps made by themselves as an additional source of light in their rooms. The principal of the establishment informed the visiting persons that he planned to buy additional tracksuits for inmates and that the purchase of bedside lamps was under consideration. When it comes to living conditions, financial participation of foster care centres (children’s home) in living cost of inmates in youth care centres constitutes a very important issue. During the Mechanism inspection, the principals of centres often stressed that children’s homes after the placement of a juvenile in YCC or YSC evade responsibility for providing them basic living conditions (food, clothes.) Therefore, on 12 February 2010, the Defender requested the Minister of Labour and Social Policy58 to present his position concerning the foster care centres evasion of providing proper living conditions and basic accessories to inmates, placed at the same time in educational establishments. In response, the Minister informed that issues related to provision of clothes, cosmetics, pocket money etc. and payment for inamates food, were agreed between the Minister of Labour and Social Policy and the Minister of National Education. The issue was consulted with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice. They agreed a common position, which is now transferred to poviat family assistance centres. The placement of a juvenile in youth sociotherapy centre or youth care centre does not cancel prevous decision on placement in foster care centre. The establishment is still obliged to fulfil its duties in place of parents, such as satisfying living needs. Its poviat, a juvenile come from, which pays for a child placed in the establishment based on a decision of a court. b) Protection from humiliating treatment or punishment UN General Assembly Resolution 43/173 of 9 December 1988: Principle 30. 1.
