Pa r t i I . 3. Right to information The right to information on rights and obligations of juveniles in the establishments was respected68. Despite this fact, the representatives of the NPM advised to supplement information available on notice boards to include the establishment’s rules of procedure, a procedure for filing complaints and addresses of institutions protecting human rights69. Single recommendations concerned introducing changes to the wording of internal documents of the establishments visited, among others, unifying the catalogue of rights and obligations and punishments and rewards, expanding the list of rights to include the right to outdoor activities, freedom of religion or supplementing the statute to include a procedure for filing complaints70. 4. Right to contact with the outside world All the establishments visited were criticised for violating the right of juveniles to contact with the outside world. In several centres, remarks mainly concerned provisions of internal documents on juveniles’ contact with persons from outside their facility71. In most cases72, however, apart from unlawful internal regulations, improper practice was also identified. At this point, a supposition expressed in the Report of 2013 should be repeated, i.e. the foregoing is due to the fact that the Act on juvenile delinquency proceedings lacks specific provisions on charges’ contacts with persons from outside the establishments. The provision of the AJDP on contacts with persons who are not family members provides for situations in which this contact may be limited, but it applies to individual cases, rather than general principles introduced in the establishments. Pursuant to § 4(1) of the Ordinance of the Minister of National Education of 27 December 2011 on detailed rules for referring, admitting, transferring, releasing and holding juveniles in a youth care centre (Dz.U. No 296, item 1755), immediately after a juvenile arrives to a centre, its director – in the presence of an educator or other employee of the centre – interviews the juvenile to acquaint him/her with his/her rights, obligations and rules of stay in the centre. Furthermore, the juvenile confirms awareness of his/her rights, responsibilities and rules of stay in the centre with his/ her own signature. If the juvenile refuses to place his/her signature, the director of the centre makes a note in the juvenile’s documentation that he/she refuses to confirm awareness of his/ her rights, obligations and rules of stay in the centre (§ 4(2) of the Ordinance). 69 YCCs in: Namysłów, Rewal, Skarżysko-Kamienna, Wojnów, Leśnica, Goździków. 70 YCCs in: Rembów, Skarżysko-Kamienna, Zawiść, Łańcut, Goździków. 71 YCCs in: Warsaw (No 4), Herby, Wojnów, Krzepice, Węgrzynów. 72 YCCs in: Skarżysko-Kamienna, Łańcut, Rewal, Namysłów, Zawiść, Rembów, Leśnica, Goździków. 68 29
