All of the inspection visits were carried out by multidisciplinary teams com­ prising external specialists, experts in psychiatry and psychology, some of them specialized in child psychiatry. The inspection visits to the «Teresa de Calcuta» and «Zambrana» centers, which have the biggest occupancy, were carried out over a period of two days. During the inspection visits interviews were held with the management teams and staff members. Private interviews were also held with mi­ nors on a voluntary basis. In addition, at the «Teresa de Calcuta» center self-ad­ ministered questionnaire-interviews were handed out to the minors and to the psychologists, educators, social workers and technical intervention assistants (ab­ breviated as TAI in Spanish). Moreover, the documents regarding minors at the centers were reviewed, including procedures used in handling the minors and le­ gal and administrative measures established and applied at the centers, log books, personal, disciplinary and medical files, internal rules and regulations, etc. The «Teresa de Calcuta» and «Zambrana» centers were inspected without prior notice. The «Las Palmeras» center, however, was informed in advance of the inspection given that in this case the NPM was accompanied by a delegation from the Arme­ nian Ombudsman Institution, which is participating in the TAIEX (JHA IND/ STUD 50469) project organized by the European Commission.
