Appendix Two
Member overview
In the first annual report of the UK NPM, we
profiled each of the NPM members, setting
out detailed information on their mandate,
structure and methodology. Rather than
replicate that information in subsequent
annual reports, we have set out below a
short description of each member, as a
reminder. We have also included details
of any significant changes during 2012–13.
Detailed information about each member
can be found in our first annual report,
the online database of UK NPM members,
or the annual reports or websites of the
individual members.24
As in previous annual reports, 19 organisations
are included below, even though only 18 are
designated as members of the NPM. The 19th
organisation – Independent Custody Visitors
Scotland – has not been designated separately
but is a member of the designated ICVA.
Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales
CSSIW regulates and inspects all social care
services in Wales. This includes secure
accommodation, where children are placed
either for their offending behaviour or because
they pose a significant risk to themselves or
others. CSSIW also monitors the deprivation
of liberty safeguards during its regular
inspections of adult care homes.

and immigration detention alongside Her
