International cooperation Seminars and conferences In January 2018, the NPM participated in an expert group on inmates and mental health hosted by the Penal Reform International in London. This was to provide input on the draft of a new guide for prison officers on mental health among inmates. The guide was published in April 2018. We also took part in the conference ‘Second UK Mental Disability Law Conference” in Nottingham, UK in June 2018. During the conference, a number of challenges on safeguarding patients in the mental health care services were discussed, including the significance that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) should have for different countries’ ongoing legal reforms. 2 See: https://www.sivilombudsmannen.no/en/visit-reports/ 65 Reports in English In order to be able to share experience and information with international stakeholders in the prevention field, summaries and recommendations from all the NPM’s visit reports are translated into English. These are published on the Ombudsman’s English website.2
