(A Member State should provide in a separate part of the national legislation for establishment of public and private safety homes, foster homes and other facilities and for the standards for such facilities, approvals, regulatory provisions as to stay, discipline and maintenance and closure of such facilities. Further, provide for procedures for committal and responsibilities of persons running such facilities. Most of these provisions already exist in Child Codes, juvenile laws and other juvenile justice system laws in some Member States and there may, therefore, only be the need for effective cross referencing) Page 62 of 78
