76 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 case about forcible measures against a nine-year-old boy. He was at the playground of the Bispebjerg Psychiatric Centre for Children and Young People, and he refused to come inside to attend classes at the in-house school. Consequently, two staff members took hold of the boy and dragged him indoors in spite of the boy’s resistance. The Ombudsman concluded the case with a report in which he expressed severe criticism that forcible measures had been taken against the boy. Unclear agreements at institutions offering treatment for alcohol and drug abuse As mentioned above, treatment of alcohol and drug abuse was a general theme in 2013. Therefore, we visited 13 institutions working with treatment of alcohol and/or drug abuse. A recurring issue was the institutions’ implementation of various restrictions against residents for treatment purposes. For instance, the majority of institutions had laid down rules allowing staff to search residents’ rooms and to demand that residents provide urine samples or take an alcohol test. Many institutions had introduced rules restricting residents’ access to a mobile telephone or a computer, and at one institution, the residents’ access to television was considerably restricted. A number of institutions had also imposed restrictions on personal liberty, meaning, for instance, that residents were not allowed outside the institution until they had been off drugs for 30 days, and at the beginning only when accompanied by an employee. There was no legislative authority for these restrictions. Many of the institutions explained that they had entered into a voluntary agreement with the residents that the institution was allowed to impose these restrictions, and the residents we spoke to were generally aware of the restrictions which could be imposed on them. In a number of cases, however, there was uncertainty among the residents whether they themselves had agreed that the institution could impose these restrictions. Consequently, the monitoring team recommended – at the relevant institutions – that the institutions should set up clear, written agreements with each individual resident, prior to the resident’s moving to the institution, as to which restrictions could be imposed on him or her. The consequences in case of breach of the agreement should also appear from the agreement, for instance that treatment might cease. We also visited two accommodation facilities for children and young people with drug/alcohol abuse problems in consequence of our selecting treatment of alcohol and drug abuse as a theme for our visits in 2013 to institutions for
