special care service, and therefore those clients regularly passed through the family of the children. In another family the living room had a door with bars and the room of one child only had a mattress. According to the staff, such an arrangement was due to the alleged bouts of rage of one child. The Chancellor explained that the general location of living rooms has an important role in ensuring family-like conditions, security and privacy. The provision of the service for children in separate rooms allows shaping the environment so that it corresponds to their age and development and helps to avoid threats to the well-being of children arising from third party adults. Family rooms of a substitute home are the children’s home which should not be passed through by neighbours. Inter alia, children should be ensured the right to privacy, so that the family and the children could be on their own without interference. The threat to the safety of the children should also be ruled out: the right of the child to safety is violated not only when the child has been hurt but also when the potential risks have not been mitigated. The Chancellor also noted that empty and barred rooms do not create a home-like environment. Of course, it should be taken into account that the furniture and design should meet the needs of the children and be safe. Thus, it is understandable if the furniture in family rooms differs depending on the special needs of the children. However, experts believe that even in case of children with behavioural problems a normal living environment contributes to changing their behaviour towards the desired outcome. Therefore, instead of bars and removal of the furniture a solution should be found which ensures that the furniture is safe and home-like at the same time (e.g. furniture from break-resistant material, curtains attached with a snap) and that children are given repeated opportunities to get used to the furniture. In conclusion, the Chancellor recommended to organise the provision of the substitute home service in a way that the clients receiving others kinds of services do not pass through the living rooms of the substitute home, and to consult with specialists on how to furnish the living rooms so that they are safe and home-like at the same time. 5. Catering of children The main purpose of the follow-up visit to Lasnamäe Centre of Tallinn Children’s Home was to get an overview of how the substitute home had complied with the recommendation given in 2013 to ensure the right of children to sufficient, varied and fully nutritional food. At that time the food portions did not differ according to the age group of the children, they did not meet the food energy need of the children and did not meet the Estonian food or nutritional requirements. Based on the results of the follow-up inspection, the Chancellor could note with satisfaction that the provided food corresponded to the daily energy needs of children of different ages. However, it was found that the intervals between meals were longer than allowed and the food contained somewhat more fats and less carbohydrates than required. Therefore, the Chancellor recommended to the substitute home to comply in the future with the health protection requirements established for catering. 60
