They are further developed in the recommendations within each section of this report. It is intended for ENOC members to work with, supplement and improve this list as well as the recommendations.

9 General impressions  The States:  There seems to be a large discrepancy between law and practice  There is a lack of well tailored practices  Legislation in most of the States has to be improved  A systematic review of placement of C/JDs is often missing  Children do not benefit sufficiently from complaint procedures (not aware, not accessible)  There is an overall lack of data on C/JDs

10 General impressions  NHRIs:  Need better funding to deal with C/JDs  Need more trained staff  Need broader mandates, so as to allow for a more proactive approach to monitoring and protection of rights of C/JDs  Need to improve cooperation with each other and within ENOC
