of computers in the group depends on financial resources, and we would be happy if you would donate
a new computer.”
The adolescents of MD Maribor highlighted that, in the event of damage to property, or in the event
of other conduct resulting in property damage, they are all held responsible when the perpetrator is
unknown. The NPM assesses such collective punishment as inappropriate, since adolescents receive
grants, pensions after their parents or funds from the Botrstvo project, which are of existential
importance for them. We recommend that everything be done to determine the perpetrator and impose
the payment for possible damage on them alone. In our opinion, focusing on determining the actual
situation is more efficient in terms of educating adolescents to own up and accept responsible for their
actions than to simply impose responsibility on everyone and not deal with the cause of a violation. In
the case of a violation by a single individual, collective responsibility is not a justified solution.
In their reply to the preliminary report, the management of MD Maribor explained: “Damage is always
established, and this is not a case of collective punishment; we always discover one or several individuals
who are responsible for the damage incurred.”
The NPM recommended that the management of ZVI Logatec annually examine the content of its
website and promptly update it with all new items.
The NPM proposed to the management of ZVI Logatec that they introduce a system for evaluating
satisfaction for parents and adolescents in the unit, which is to be implemented periodically, but always
before the adolescent is released from the institution.
In their reply to our preliminary report, the management of ZVI Logatec explained: “Regarding the
satisfaction evaluation, I can say that we survey parents and social work centres, but rarely adolescents.
In the future, we will establish the satisfaction of the adolescents on an annual basis. I can also mention
that we regularly survey the satisfaction of the staff.”
The NPM proposed to the management of ZVI Logatec that they display the house rules in a visible place
and also publish them on their website.
The NPM proposed to the management of ZVI Logatec that they establish a complaint system, which will
enable an insight into the records of complaints, the method of discussing problems and subsequent
(possible) solutions.
In the response to the preliminary report, the management of ZVI Logatec explained that the complaint
system would be introduced in the next school year.
We proposed to the management of ZVI Logatec that they inform the entire staff about the report,
including those working in the Rdeča kljuka residential group.
In the response to the preliminary report, the management of ZVI Logatec explained that the headteacher
of the institution had informed all staff members in the Rdeča kljuka residential group about the relevant
report.
The NPM proposed to the management of ZVI Logatec that they introduce a system for evaluating
satisfaction for parents and adolescents in the unit, which is to be implemented periodically, but always
before the adolescent is released from the institution.
In the response to the preliminary report, the management of ZVI Logatec explained that the proposal
about the evaluation system of parents and adolescents seemed reasonable and that they would
introduce it in the next school year.
