The NPM proposed to VIZ Smlednik that they accordingly update the annual work plan and the report on the implementation of the annual work plan on their website, because the relevant information on the website is outdated. In their reply to our preliminary report, the management of VIZ Smlednik explained: “The website has been updated and we will continue to update it in the future.” The NPM proposed that VIZ Smlednik update the school rules, since the provisions of the school rules refer to the ‘Rules on elementary school student’s rights and duties’ (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia [Uradni list RS], No. 75/04) which no longer apply. In their reply to our preliminary report, the management of VIZ Smlednik explained: “The school rules on the website were also updated.” After re-examining the website of VIZ Smlednik, we confirmed the aforementioned.

The NPM also recommended that the staff further motivate the adolescents to maintain hygiene and cleanliness. In their reply to our preliminary report, the management of VIZ Smlednik explained: “One of the basic principles of our institution is the tidiness of communal and personal areas for children and adolescents, and we will follow this principle in the future.” The NPM proposed that VIZ Smlednik make further efforts, also by setting an example, to deter adolescents from smoking or encourage them to stop. The NPM commended the efforts of VIZ Smlednik to reduce addictions with the introduction of a workshop for parents on the topic of a healthy lifestyle, addiction and drugs. 102 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2016 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
