MONITORING METHODOLOGY B. INSPECTION OF THE PREMISES AND OBSERVATIONS OF CONDITIONS If it is the first time that the monitoring body is visiting the facility, it may be useful to dedicate sufficient time for the inspection of the premises in order to have a good overview of the conditions of deprivation of liberty in every place and room of the facility. To do so, the team could divide this task between them. If it is not the first visit, a short general tour of the facility may be sufficient perhaps with a stronger attention to several places that have been previously identified as “at risk” (isolation room, cells or dormitories, etc.). The director or one staff member may accompany a delegation of the monitoring team to visit the premises. In this case, monitors should ensure that they go everywhere including the areas that the accompanying staff member does not show them or, if the interviews with children and/or the consultation of documents and registers have occurred previously, where their attention has been attracted to. The inspection of the premises should include but not be limited to: ʺʺ the place where children are held / conducted upon their arrival; ʺʺ the bedrooms / cells / dormitories; ʺʺ the isolation / separation rooms; ʺʺ the disciplinary rooms; ʺʺ the medical facilities; ʺʺ the educational facilities; ʺʺ the social facilities; ʺʺ the exercise facilities (indoor and outdoor areas such as exercises yards and sports facilities); ʺʺ the sanitary installations; ʺʺ the visitor rooms + the telephone box + the mail box; ʺʺ the religious / spiritual rooms; ʺʺ the complaint and/or request box; ʺʺ the security room or video camera vigilance centre; ʺʺ etc. 69 4
