124 MONITORING OF CUSTODIAL SETTINGS IN UKRAINE: the school’s health care staff; • Lack of proper supply of special methodological literature, textbooks, teaching aids for teachers and for pupils with special needs; • Residents do not have 24/7 access to drinking water as required by the State Sanitary Regulations and Rules of April 15, 1997, No. 136/ 1940; • Social isolation of the institution for its remoteness from major towns, lack of cooperation with NGOs and volunteers. Such isolation worsens for lack of residents’ access to modern means of communication; • Absence of notice boards with the numbers of hotlines of public authorities to be reached in instances of violation of the rights of residents or staff. There are no boxes for complaints and suggestions (“trust boxes”), which violates Article 13 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; • Social stigmatization and discrimination of children with diabetes. In the school canteen the table for such children stands aside; the staff believe it is to the benefit of the children who need dietary food and will not eat the food for other children and harm their health, but this approach is convenient only to the staff. • The health care school with its swimming pool and five meals a day is used as a top rate institution for children during the week: in fact, the institution is a boarding school for only 12 % of its pupils, and for others it is merely a day care facility. However, the institution is funded as a health care boarding school. • Lack of computer classes and computers. Children learn to use computers in a regular classroom, from textbooks and with the use of a blackboard; • Ban on the use of mobile phones. • The right of the children to privacy and personal space is not respected: for several years children live in a distressing environment with up to 20 beds in a room. All beds and the space around are the same, without any pictures, photographs, books, etc. Moreover, in the school there is practically no place where a child could withdraw and spend some time alone. After wakeup bedrooms stay locked for the whole day and the children pass their free time according to a schedule and only together, watching TV, playing outdoors or participating in different “hobby circles”. One can be on one’s own only in the office of the psychologist or social educator.
