Detailed findings relating to the treatment and conditions of detainees are published in the inspection or annual reports of each NPM member. The NPM’s biannual 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 business plan and other decisions for members are taken at these meetings. This year, business meetings were held in June 2014 (Belfast), November 2014 (Bridgend, Wales) and March 2015 (London). NPM coordination Coordination is essential to the full and effective implementation of OPCAT in the UK, given the scale and complexity of the UK NPM’s unusual multi-body structure. Each NPM member has a different mandate, powers and geographical remit and sets its own priorities for detention monitoring as well as contributing to joint NPM priorities. 3 Deprivation of liberty legal safeguards apply only to England and Wales but organisations in Scotland and Northern Ireland visit and inspect health and social care facilities where people may be deprived of liberty. 11
