Psychiatric hospitals 5 visits focusing on forensic treatment Visits focused on forensic treatment All five visits to psychiatric hospitals focused on performance of court-ordered protective treatment. Protective treatment is ordered by a court in criminal proceedings and, in its institutional (in-patient) form, it takes place mostly in psychiatric hospitals. We carried out the visits with assistance of external physicians and nurses. After we issued reports on the visits to individual hospitals, we met with their representatives at a round table. We discussed disputable topics and heard proposals for systemic recommendations. The experts also provided their comments for the preparation of the summary report. We will issue the latter in 2018. What we concentrated on in respect of forensic treatment: ―― treatment and regime (concept of protective treatment in facilities, therapeutic activities, regime measures, means of restraint, social work, personnel) insofar as they are related to ill-treatment ―― safety, security and safeguards (documentation of injuries, complaints mechanism, security at the department, LGBTI) ―― material conditions ―― contact with outside world 20
