CAT/OP/BRA/2/Add.1 (b) Introducing mandatory notification in health services for socio-educational centres. Violence is a “notifiable condition” under Order No. 104 of 25 November 2011 and Presidential Decree No. 7958 of 13 March 2013, which addresses the treatment of victims of sexual violence by health and safety officials. 186. The rules and mechanisms governing SINASE are consistent with Brazilian and international regulations. Improvements to the police force include the implementation of chapter V of Federal Act No. 12594/12 on evaluating and monitoring the administration of socio-educational services. Implementation should take no more than three years, the aim being to ensure that targets have been met, and to make recommendations for system managers and staff. Evaluation should involve representatives of the judiciary, the Department of Prosecution, the Public Defender Service and guardianship councils. 187. Investing in information management in the socio-educational system through the Information System on Children and Adolescents (SIPIA-SINASE) is yet another measure aimed at regulating the National System for Evaluating and Monitoring Socio-Educational Services, to be launched in 2014. 188. The introduction of the socio-educational evaluating and monitoring system will not only make it possible to develop a network of socio-educational services, but will also help to ensure accurate information on socio-educational services and their impact and improve their quality, and to provide information on socio-educational services. According to article 26 of Federal Act No. 12594/12, the findings of the evaluation will be used to: (a) plan targets and determine priorities for SINASE and for funding; (b) restructure and/or expand the network of socio-educational services, according to identified needs; (c) adjust the objectives and nature of socio-educational services provided in the evaluated facilities; (d) showcase instruments of cooperation that will help solve the problems identified in the evaluation; (e) boost funding to strengthen the network of socio-educational services; and (f) improve and expand training for people providing socio-educational services. The information provided by the National System for Information on Socio-Educational Services will be used to support the evaluation, monitoring, administration and funding of the national, district, state and municipal socio-educational service systems. It will also be used to guide public, integrated and intersectoral policies in order to address shortcomings and make SINASE more effective. 189. The Brazilian State would like to point out that the Insituto Padre Severino, which was visited by the Subcommittee, was closed in October 2012 and has been replaced by the Cense Dom Bosco, which has 233 places for youngsters in socio-education. According to information from the State of Río de Janeiro, accommodation facilities that were deemed inadequate were demolished when the Instituto closed down. All the old accommodation retained was renovated and tailored to the services for adolescents detained at the Cense Dom Bosco. The new unit was built according to the architectural design put forward by SINASE. V. Conclusion 190. The Brazilian Government hopes that through the information provided, it has shown its commitment to combating torture and ill-treatment in its prisons. Through this reply to the Subcommittee, the State reaffirms its commitment to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Optional Protocol. 191. Brazil recognizes the historical and structural challenges to be overcome in this area. In this regard, the Subcommittee’s visit and recommendations offered the Brazilian State a GE.14-42059 39
