and the above is registered neither in the list of crisis intervention, nor in the register of restrictions and controls. Worrisome is the fact that has been established by the NPM in two of the homes inspected – the HCDPC - village of Borovan and the HCDPC „Ivan Kyulev” – city of Gotse Delchev where during the inspection there were inmates, respectively under 3 and 7 years. In this regard a recommendation has been made to terminate the placement without legal grounds of children whose age does not correspond to the type of the specialized institution. Reintegration and adoption Some of the children in specialized institutions meet legal requirements, but the NPM has noted that they are not entered into the record of children who can be adopted under the conditions of full adoption (e.g. the HCDPC - village of Doganovo and the HCDPC – village of Borovan where only one child out of 23 children is registered for full adoption). As alarming has to be noted the fact concerning the large number of failed reintegration in the biological family, and non-observance on the part of some social workers of the term of art. 3, para 3 of the Ordinance on the conditions and procedures for implementation of measures to prevent child abandonment and placement in institutions and their reintegration, approved by Decree No 181 of 11.08.2003. At the inspections gaps in the timely preparation and periodic update of the action plans of the children in the homes have been identified (e.g. the HCDPC „Maria Louisa” – city of Plovdiv, the HCDPC „Olga Skobeleva” – city of Plovdiv). In connection with the findings of the NPM team it is insisted on observing the provisions of the Family Code of the Republic of Bulgaria for entering of the children in the registry of children who can be adopted under the conditions of full adoption, and to make a thorough study of the reasons of any unsuccessful reintegration and whether the work of the social services has been effective enough. According to the NPM it is necessary to improve the interaction between the „Child Protection” departments with the Agency for Social Assistance and the Regional Directorates „Social Support” and the social service providers through regular exchange of information, visits and direct contact with children in order to ensure their best interest. 37 Annual Report of the National Preventive Mechanism | OMBUDSMAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA
