National Preventive Mechanism Sixth Annual Report 2014–15 Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland (CJINI) published a report of its inspection of Magilligan Prison (February 2015) as well as thematic reports on the safety of prisoners held by the Northern Ireland Prison Service (October 2014), and a follow-up review of prisoner escort and court custody arrangements (April 2014). Inspection fieldwork was conducted in the Juvenile Justice Centre.101 children and young people, wherever they are living. The Northern Ireland Policing Board Independent Custody Visiting Scheme (NIPBICVS) delivered training and development activities to encourage and promote continuous improvement on the scheme, including training on vulnerable adults and equality and diversity. Five new custody visitors joined in August 2014. Between April 2014 and March 2015, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (England and Wales) (HMI Prisons) published 94 inspection reports, including reports on 49 adult prisons, nine children’s secure establishments, 10 police forces’ custody facilities and three immigration detention facilities. It also produced thematic research on transfers and escorts in the criminal justice system, and a review of release on temporary licence (ROTL) failures. Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) developed and published a revised framework for children’s homes during 2014–15. The methodology for inspecting England’s secure children’s homes (SCHs) is incorporated within this wider framework, making it clear that such establishments are primarily homes for children, regardless of their secure nature. The framework incorporates strengthened guidance on the inspections of SCHs and, specifically, guidance on inspectors’ evaluation of the use of restraint and single separation, in line with a key NPM priority. The framework now references its many links to OPCAT more explicitly. Respect for children's rights and entitlements are central to the framework, which sets out the benchmark of ‘good’ as the minimum acceptable standard of care and help for It was agreed that a revised framework should explain more clearly that inspectors’ judgements of STCs are underpinned by OPCAT values and principles. Greater clarity was required on inspections’ examination of the use of single separation and restraint.102 In line with NPM guidance, HMI Prisons reduced the number of seconded staff from nine in 2013–14 to seven in 2014–15. The findings from its NPM self-assessment fed directly into the organisation’s corporate plan, with all areas identified as ‘partially compliant’ or ‘not currently compliant’ included as action points. HMI Prisons published its self‑assessment response on its website. In June 2014, after consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, HMI Prisons published its Expectations: Criteria for assessing the treatment of and conditions for women in prison, which draws from the UN Bangkok Rules on the treatment of women offenders.103 HMI Prisons is revising its police 101 Report to be published in 2015. 102 Proposals for change have since been consulted upon widely and the new framework was published in July 2015.
