In addition, a final report on six years of monitoring Youthcare Plus has been composed. The overall conclusion of this final report on six years of Youthcare Plus is that the Inspectorate for Youth Care, the Health Care Inspectorate and the Inspectorate of Education find that the Youthcare Plus institutions and schools are able to provide adequate care and education to youths requiring a more drastic form of specialized youth care in the future. The youths receive individual treatment and the institutions employ customized solutions when deploying freedom-restricting measures, granting leave and offering elements of the daytime program. The families are involved in the treatment. In most cases, the youths go to school within two working days after their arrival at the institution and only a negligible amount of lessons is cancelled. As part of their personal action plan, the youths are prepared for a next step towards as independent a life as possible, outside of the closed environment. However, the Inspectorates did identify a number of obstacles and points for improvement that the institutions need to address. The Inspectorate for Youth Care will continue to follow the progress as part of its supervision of the institutions and by way of consultations with the sector association. The final report was submitted to the House of Representatives by the State Secretary for Health, Welfare and Sport and the State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science. In their policy response to the House, they inform the House that they have followed the report’s recommendations. The response also describes how the points for improvement will be addressed and what is expected of the field parties. One concrete example is the set of measures implemented to promote and monitor the progression of the youths from the Youthcare Plus institutions to the environment and form of education deemed most suitable. Furthermore, in 2014, the Inspectorate for Youth Care, together with the Health Care Inspectorate and the Inspectorate of Education examined six cases of (supposedly) physically inappropriate behaviour or disproportionate use of restraints by a group leader with physical damage to the juvenile. For all these cases, the centres themselves announced that they would implement measures to prevent repeat incidents, including more specific agreements on the provision of de-escalation and physical resilience training. The Inspectorate requested that additional improvement measures be implemented in two cases. These points for improvement, too, will be followed by the Inspectorate during its regular supervisory activities. Also, the Inspectorate for Youth Care and the Health Care Inspectorate conducted research for the death of a juvenile in an institution for Youthcare Plus. This report has been published. 2.4 Detention and repatriation of irregular migrants In 2014 the Inspectorate VenJ, in cooperation with the IGZ, in the framework of the Second immigration chain monitor conducted an investigation into the compliance with the improvement measures arising from the incident-based investigation into the death of Alexander Dolmatov. These measures relate to, among other things, acting carefully during the stay of a foreigner in police custody and the medical care in detention centres. The second report on the monitoring of the immigration shows that the Inspectorates see results have been achieved and many professionals have a great will to continue to improve. The fact 13
