According to the above mentioned legal provisions, the Field regarding prevention of torture in detention places (NPM) monitors the conditions of accommodation and the treatment applied to children in these centres. As for the exercise of attributions to visit places where public or private social assistance is granted, respectively centres for children, the visit teams identified a range of major failures in the visited institutions in 2018. Thus, we present some relevant aspects in the following: ♦ the “Ciresarii” Emergency Admission Centre, district 2, Bucharest ►the required conditions to maintain the special measure of emergency placement were not available in all cases; thus, considering the type of the Centre, for some beneficiaries (whose duration of stay in the Centre ranged from 1 to 6 years), educational, social needs, etc. could not be met. Regarding the found aspects, the management of the Centre was recommended to take the required legal action for the“Ciresarii” Emergency Admission Centre, district 2, to operate strictly as an Emergency Placement Centre, based on Order 89/2004 on minimal compulsory standards on emergency admission centres for abused, neglected and exploited children. ►the Centre had no procedures for the performance, registration and solution to notices and complaints based on Order 89/2004 on minimal compulsory standards on emergency admission centres for abused, neglected and exploited children; No clear procedure was available for the beneficiaries’ permission to leave (based on the statements of the management and staff members, children aged more than 16 could leave the Centre based on a written affidavit regarding the place they went to - such applications were shown to the team, which was confirmed by some beneficiaries; however, some beneficiaries claimed they could leave the Centre for a few hours with only verbal notice). Regarding the found aspects, the management of the Centre was recommended to draw up work procedures based on Order no. 89/2004 on minimal compulsory standards on emergency admission centres for abused, neglected and exploited children; to establish a clear procedure on the beneficiaries’ exit from the Centre 134
