number of places for young people as from the school year 2014/2015. The Institute agreed in principle and since the school year 2014/2015 no more than 16 young people are admitted to the centre, which would ensure availability of living rooms with no more than two beds for the children. 5.2. Opportunities for spending free time and the shortage of staff The inspection revealed that the children at Jõhvi Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre did not have sufficient opportunities for recreational or other meaningful free time activities corresponding to their age and contributing to their development. Physical fitness related intervention necessary for maintaining physical health was also insufficient. The Chancellor identified the same problem in the work of the centre in 2010. Although in the meantime the centre has created some additional opportunities for recreational activities for children (handicraft room and an attic room for physical activity), the needs of the children are still not sufficiently taken into account. An obstacle in providing meaningful activities for spending free time and taking account of the needs of children is the shortage of staff having direct contact with the children. Staff schedules show that on the weekends as well as in the evenings and at night (from 16.00 to 08.00) there is usually only one carer at work in either group. The Chancellor pointed out this problem also after his 2010 inspection. The shortage of staff having a direct contact with children could be one reason why the centre has problems with violence between children. Although it is currently not regulated how many staff members per certain number of children should be at work in the rehabilitation centre at one time, the number of staff in the centre at any time should be sufficient to ensure the rights of children under the international and national legislation. Currently, there is a suspicion that the shortage of staff having a direct contact with the children32 prejudices the safety of the institution as well as the opportunities of the children for recreational and other meaningful free time activities corresponding to their age and contributing to their development. In the opinion of the expert participating in the inspection visit, at least two adults could work with children in either group at one time. This would allow for a more substantive and safer contact with the children. On this basis, the Chancellor recommended that the coordinator of Jõhvi Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre, in cooperation with the management of OÜ Corrigo, should create additional opportunities for the children for spending free time and for recreational activities conducive to their development, including regularly offering for all the children at the centre the necessary physical fitness related intervention in order to maintain their physical health. The Chancellor also recommended to the coordinator of the centre, in cooperation with the management of OÜ Corrigo, to ensure that at any time regardless of the hour of the day or the day of the week there are a sufficient number of staff at the centre to guarantee the rights of all the children in the centre. 32 In the opinion of the expert participating in the inspection visit, in addition to the shortage of staff the problem is also the lack of specific professional training and in-service training of the carers. The lack of the relevant special education (either in pedagogical or social work speciality) and non-participation in refresher courses could also be a reason why the staff have sometimes had problems with providing meaningful free time activities for the children. 30
