3 – CHILD AND YOUTH WELFARE
FACILITIES
3.1 – CCTV MONITORING
information must be given in a manner that is
appropriate to their age.
Children and juveniles should not be subjected to
uninterrupted and indiscriminate CCTV monitoring.
Under no circumstances can CCTV monitoring
replace the presence of members of staff. The reasons
for CCTV monitoring must be documented. In
addition, the persons concerned must be informed of
the monitoring. The mere fact that the camera is
visible is not sufficient. It must be possible for the
person concerned to discern whether the camera is
running.
3.4 – POSSIBILITIES FOR COMPLAINT
Children and juveniles must be in a position to
submit complaints to a suitable complaint body. In
addition to contact persons within the facility, it is
important that an external ombudsperson exists who
has no ties with the facility.
It must be guaranteed that children and juveniles
can contact such an ombudsperson confidentially and
without restrictions. The complaint channels and all
necessary contact details should be provided in an
information leaflet worded in a child-appropriate
manner, or in the facility’s house rules, and explained
to them when they are first admitted to the facility.
3.2 – OUTDOOR EXERCISE
All children and juveniles must be offered at least
one hour of outdoor exercise per day.
3.3 – INFORMATION ON RIGHTS
When they are admitted to the facility, children and
juveniles must be informed about their rights. This
