The essential requirement of OPCAT – that
all places of detention are independently
monitored – is fulfilled by individual members
of the NPM or by members working in
partnership with one another. Detailed
findings relating to the treatment and
conditions of detainees are published in the
inspection or annual reports of each NPM
member.
5.
The NPM’s twice-yearly business meetings
are its main forum for members to share
findings, best practice, experiences and
lessons from monitoring different types of
detention and different jurisdictions. The
NPM strategic plan is agreed and monitored
at these meetings and other decisions which
require the input of all members are made.
This year, business meetings were held in
September 2016 in Cardiff and March 2017
in London.
Deprivation of liberty legal safeguards apply only to England and Wales as part of the Mental Capacity Act 2015 but
organisations in Scotland and Northern Ireland visit and inspect health and social care facilities where people may be
deprived of their liberty.
