Section three The NPM in 2014–15 Joint working between NPM members Scottish NPM members’ joint working arrangements developed over the year, with the Care Inspectorate joining HMIPS on its inspection of HMPs Glenochil, Greenock and Perth. The Scottish Human Rights Commission joined the HMIPS inspection of HMP Glenochil, using the new HMIPS inspection standards. The MWCS and HMIPS have begun work to coordinate prison visits by both organisations, and SHRC and MWCS have been working to progress Commitment 5 of the Mental Health Strategy for Scotland,105 with the Scottish Government. A joint report by the MWCS and Care Inspectorate on the mental health needs of young people in secure care identified several areas for improvement, including around transition arrangements for young people moving into and out of secure care.106 Following this, further joint work in secure care settings is also planned. Ofsted worked closely with partner inspectorates HMI Prisons and CQC, as well as other stakeholders, to develop its revised framework for the inspection of STCs, which are commissioned by the Youth Justice Board. HMIC and HMI Prisons worked to develop revised Expectations (assessment criteria) for the joint programme of police custody inspection. The document, which will be published in the next reporting year, has been extended to include the treatment of detainees from the first point of contact with the police and places a stronger focus on equality and diversity, and leadership and accountability. ICVA is currently working with the Lay Observers nationally to produce protocols that will safeguard the rights and entitlements of people dealt with by pilot 'virtual court' initiatives. Discussions have included specific monitoring arrangements by the separate organisations, and the distribution of a first night leaflet to detainees who have received custodial sentences. Submitting proposals and observations on legislation (OPCAT Article 19c) Across the NPM, members submitted comments and responded to consultations on draft legislation and policy, as part of its remit to strengthen the protections of those in detention. Some of the main policy consultations and legislative processes to which NPM members have submitted proposals and observations include the following. • The Care Inspectorate responded to Scottish Government consultations on proposals for an offence of wilful neglect or ill-treatment in health and social care settings,107 to reform fatal accident inquiries legislation,108 and to the Public Petitions Committee call for evidence on national guidance on restraint and seclusion in schools.109 105 The Scottish Government, Mental Health Strategy for Scotland: 2012-15. 106 Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland, Visiting and monitoring report: Visits to young people in secure care settings at: http://www.mwcscot.org.uk/media/203241/visits_to_young_people_in_secure_care_settings_final.pdf (accessed 14/10/15). 107 See: http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0046/00469698.pdf (accessed 14/10/15). 108 See: http://hub.careinspectorate.com/media/200552/care-inspectorate-response-to-fai-consultation-september-2014.pdf (accessed 14/10/15). 109 See: https://www.scottish.parliament.uk/S4_PublicPetitionsCommittee/General%20Documents/PE1548_E_Care_ Inspectorate_20.04.15.pdf (accessed 14/10/15). 61
