Section Three The second year – activities and key issues by type of detention In 2010–11, the members of the NPM visited a range of places of detention across the UK. This report highlights some of their activities and key findings. We have chosen to present these according to the type of detention visited, with jurisdictional themes and organisational activities also highlighted. The table below provides a general overview of the NPM member responsible for monitoring each type of detention in each jurisdiction in the UK.5 It should be noted that the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England has the right to enter any premises, except a private dwelling, for the purpose of interviewing any child accommodated or cared for there. Similarly, the Scottish Human Rights Commission has a broad power to enter and inspect any place of detention in the context of an inquiry into the policies or practices of Scottish public authorities.
