A second medical and psychological assessment of each boy, girl and adolescent will be carried out there in order to identify any situation which may warrant specialized attention.
Immediately thereafter, the preparatory activities for the reincorporation, comprehensive reparation and social inclusion will begin.
On the other hand, a technical support committee will be formed, whose purpose will be to prepare observations and comments directed to the family advocates in charge of restoring the rights of these boys, girls and adolescents.
