Visits in 2017 The Klokkergården Collective 6–8 June 2017 The Klokkergården Collective is situated in Hedmark and can accommodate 15 persons between the ages of 13 and 18. The institution is approved for placement without the young person’s consent. The collective is one of several long-term institutions under the foundation Stiftelsen Klokkergården. The foundation was established in 1980 with the objective to rehabilitate young people with substance abuse and behavioural problems. Main findings The Klokkergården Collective made few administrative decisions on the use of force in the past year. However, the institution made many decisions to limit freedom of movement and the use of electronic means of communication in 2016. It seemed that such decisions were made routinely when the young people arrived at the institution. The institution had a practice of grounding the young people in their rooms if they overslept. This included having to eat their meals in their rooms and they not allowed to participate in social activities. 43 No administrative decision was made regarding this restriction. This is a clear violation of young people’s right to autonomy and privacy and increases the risk of them feeling isolated. The collective had a practice of taking the young people on what they referred to as ‘motivational trips’ as part of their treatment. The institution stated that the motivational trip meant that ‘a young person leaves the institution together with two adults for a limited period in order to keep an overview of and focus on special tasks.’ The institution plan lists four main reasons for organising a motivational trip: reintegration after an escape; special care of a young person after substance abuse; intensifying treatment; and a need for extra care and attention. However, it was found that violating one of the institution's main rules was also an important reason why the young people were sent on motivational trips. Both staff and the young people stated that one of the reasons for a motivational trip could be if someone had ‘secrets’ with other young people. It was found that the motivational trips were mainly carried out following a decision by the staff. 35 motivational trips were organised in 2016, and as of 27 April, 9 such trips had been carried out in 2017. A document review showed that the trips lasted from a few days up to 14 days. The Klokkergården Collective
