There were 22 children and 53 adult wards in the institution.
The monitoring group found the following:
- one inmate of the psycho-neurological institution was in bed with his hands tied. The staff explained the need to fixation the boy with a nervous attack that happened to him. At the same time, there were no records of the child's examination by a doctor in the medical records;
- other cases of the use of physical restraints on inhabitants were found. And this is without legal grounds. At the same time, non-certified means are often used to fixation children - items of clothing and sheets.
Such actions of the institution's administration and staff may be considered torture, cruel or degrading treatment or punishment, in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
- systematic cases of inhabitants receiving bodily injuries. In the report notes of the staff, it is mentioned about injuries of children as a result of falling from beds, self-harm during psychomotor excitement. However, the administration did not provide confirmation regarding the medical examination of the injured;
- some wards needed urgent sanitary and hygienic care, had soiled bedding, worn clothes;
- an unusable elevator is used for transporting children and persons with disabilities;
- lack of staff;
- there is no simple shelter: during an "air alarm" children stay either in the rooms or in the corridor.
- some premises need immediate repair;
- non-compliance with the minimum standards of space per child in individual rooms, which violates their right to privacy.
- cockroaches in the food block.
In order to restore the violated rights of inhabitants of the orphanage-boarding home, relevant response letters were sent to law enforcement agencies and the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Government.
The situation is under my control.
