The incident was noticed after 17 years
One of the man’s parents is a good man and personal assistant to him. According to the investigation, the parent believes that the man feels safest with a locked door and that he had it throughout his upbringing. According to the report, the parent is completely against the door being able to be opened.
Over the years, several different managers and nurses have assessed and approved that the bedroom door should be locked, according to the notification to Ivo. In the spring of 2023, after about 17 years, the situation was brought to the attention of the unit for pedagogy and education.
The municipality is now reporting the incident as a serious misconduct.
