In its response to the NPM’s report, the Ministry stated that the proposal for the Act on the Intervention for Children and Teenagers with Emotional and Conduct Disorders and Problems in Education has been drafted as a new act by means of which they wish to establish a uniform systemic regulation of comprehensive treatment of children with emotional and behavioural disorders in residential treatment institutions, who have so far been integrated into the work of various ministries and other bodies. Based on the adopted act, competence centres would be established, and the educational system and standards for each individual form of work would be renewed. The act would also stipulate internal rules or their preparation. The MIZŠ explained that starting points or guidelines for crisis management in institutions for the care and education of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders in Slovenia will be prepared within the framework of the public call for the selection of research projects within the Target Research Programme, CRP 2019, in 2019. The Ombudsman supports a uniform normative regulation of the treatment of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural problems and disorders. In doing so, certain past recommendations will also be fully realised, i.e. to prepare an analysis of the work already done with children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders in residential treatment institutions and a vision of the development, and to introduce necessary systemic changes; to prepare expert bases and uniform guidelines for suitable and more uniform discussion of adolescents with explicitly aberrant behaviour; to prepare an upgrade of the educational programme and necessary systemic solutions for discussing children with emotional and behavioural disorders in residential treatment institutions, and to adopt a special act that would comprehensively regulate the organisation and operations of residential treatment institutions, and also harmonise technical terms. 45 2.3 VISITS TO RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT INSTITUTIONS itated monitoring of the observance of rules and implementation of measures. It would provide better predictability and limit (current) possibilities for unequal or even arbitrary correctional action and treatment of children and adolescents in the event of violation of the rules of conduct. We thus recommended that the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport (MIZŠ) draft a suitable legal basis for the rules of conduct in institutions (educational and residential groups), correctional measures for when these rules are violated and the procedure for corrective action.
