Child and youth welfare facilities pedagogical supervisor moved her place of residence to the vicinity of the crisis centre and is now ready to work within 15 minutes, if required. Commission 4 criticised that a shared accommodation in Vienna was unmanned between 8.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. If a child became sick or lessons were cancelled, the staff in the team had to organise themselves to cover the missed lessons. The operator of the facility responded with the creation of an additional position. Several operators took the criticism as an opportunity to examine whether and in how far the shared accommodation can be made barrier-free. Sex education concepts Most of the Laender have now also met the demand of the NPM for a sex education concept as an approval requirement for new residential groups. In Vienna, Lower Austria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Tyrol and Burgenland, sex education concepts must be in place for the approval of a new facility. In Upper Austria, Vorarlberg and Styria, sex education concepts are not an approval requirement; however, the child and youth welfare departments in the regional governments emphasised that it is given particular attention. Cooperation with Ombuds Office for Children and Youths In 2019 there was a meeting again with the Ombuds Offices for Children and Youths at which problems were discussed with members of the NPM.

XX  The Laender must monitor the implementation of these quality standards through the technical supervision.

The main purpose was to record whether the noticeable major differences in the number of minors in out-of-home care between the Laender documented in 2017 has since been reduced.
