MONITORING METHODOLOGY 4.4. Follow up monitoring visits / Actions to enforce � ORGANISE A DEBRIEFING WITH THE MONITORING TEAM � PROCEED TO INTERNAL ANALYSIS AND REPORTING � PREPARE EXTERNAL REPORTS � DRAFT THE RECOMMENDATIONS � DISSEMINATE THE REPORTS � FOLLOW UP ON REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS � ASSESS THE IMPACT OF REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS � SET UP POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP STRATEGIES The follow up phase of the visit and the resulting enforcing actions are crucial steps after the visit to fully achieve a monitoring mission. The visit in itself is not sufficient. Rights violations may be documented or observed but change will not occur without an effective follow-up. The information and findings gathered during the visit have to be collated, analysed and reported to the appropriate people i.e. to whoever has the capacity to take actions that can improve the treatment and conditions in which children are deprived of their liberty and in doing so, respect the rights of these children. The effective implementation of the recommendations included in the reports and addressed to authorities shall also be duly followed. This process requires as much attention and planning as the visit itself, if not more! The type of follow up and the categories of actions that will be planned to enforce the implementation of recommendations will depend on the type and specific objectives of the visit that has been performed. The planning of the follow up process should be included in the general timeframe of the monitoring strategy. As part of the right-based approach previously developed, it will be useful to proceed to the analysis of findings and information taking the child specific indicators into account See – Section 5. – p.93. The way the analysis is made should also allow comparison of the results from one visit to another in order to measure the level of improvement of the respect of the rights of children. To that aim, indicators of improvement should be established by the monitoring team and should be used as a basis for the preparation of the next visit. 83 4
