Section two The NPM in 2019–20 inadequate accountability procedures in place at the three prisons visited.203 In November, the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) organised a meeting between NPMs in Europe to discuss safeguards in police custody. The event also celebrated 50 years of the CPT. As in previous years, the NPM and its members collaborated actively with a range of international actors, including monitoring bodies and inspectorates from other countries, academics and non-governmental organisations. The NPM and its members provided input to other NPMs, expert forums and new detention monitoring initiatives over the year, as follows: • The CCE organised a trip for a delegation of English officials to visit secure accommodation for children in Norway. The trip allowed officials to see first-hand examples of best practice in regard to the detention of children. • CQC took part in a Doughty Street Chambers event on psychosocial disability rights with the Japan Federation of Bar Associations. CQC discussed its NPM role, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the transition to community-based mental health services. CQC also took part in a meeting with the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, Dainius Pūras, organised by the University of Essex. • In April 2019, CJINI hosted a Churchill Fellow from Australia’s Northern Territory who visited to learn more about detention monitoring bodies. CJINI also hosted a senior inspector from the Office of the Ombudsman New Zealand (one of the New Zealand NPM bodies) for a week-long study visit in July 2019. This was an opportunity for the inspector to learn more about the UK NPM, the NPM bodies in Northern Ireland and CJINI’s inspection methodologies. The inspector shadowed an IMBNI meeting in Hydebank Wood Secure College and accompanied CJINI on fieldwork for the inspection of police custody and on a visit to the Juvenile Justice Centre to meet young people who had recent experience of police custody. • SHRC submitted a shadow report to the UN Committee Against Torture in March 2019, which was considered as part of the periodic review of the UK in May 2019. Representatives of the Commission attended the review to give evidence and supported the NPM oral session. SHRC also submitted a shadow report to International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in January 2020.204 203 UK NPM, April 2020, Statement from the UK NPM in response to the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) Report to the United Kingdom on their 2019 visit to England, https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/npm-prod-storage-19n0nag2nk8xk/uploads/2020/04/NPM-Short-response-noteCPT-report-England-2019.pdf [accessed 27/08/2020] 204 United Nations Treat Body Database, Submission to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (The Committee): NHRI Report to Inform List of Issues Prior to Reporting on the United Kingdom’s 8th periodic report under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/treatybodyexternal/Download.aspx?symbo lno=INT%2fCCPR%2fIFR%2fGBR%2f40930&Lang=en [accessed 10/11/2020] 77
