If States should opt for the shelter model as part of their assistance and rehabilitation facilities, the Special Rapporteur recommends that such shelters should, at a minimum, provide the following services and facilities: (a) A place of residence with decent living conditions and of small dimensions; (b) Appropriate food and clothes; (c) Full medical aid, including hospital treatments and surgeries, if needed; (d) Competent and specialized staff; (e) Psychological counselling; (f) Education facilities, to allow children to follow the appropriate school curriculum; (g) (h) needed; (i) Legal aid and court representation, if the victim so requires; Translation and interpretation services in a language the victim understands, if Personalized care for the best interests of each child; (j) Participation in appropriate recreational activities and diverse programmes of rehabilitation and reintegration. These could include other education programmes, professional skills-gaining and support in finding employment, when relevant; (k) Security needs to be ensured for the participants inside but also outside of the shelter, as the minor victims are still vulnerable to their exploiters and traffickers who often belong to criminalized groups; (l) Participation of civil society should also be encouraged and facilitated. 76.
