101 14. Dissemination, media In 2016, the Department conducted a training for the staff members of the department in charge of the protection of children within my general competence, in the course of which they were briefed on the interviewing techniques applied during the NPM’s visits, the peculiarities of preventive inspections conducted in child protection institutions, the internal dynamics of the visiting delegations, and the importance of jointly processing the information and experiences obtained in the course of the visits. According to the guidelines issued for National Preventive Mechanisms, disseminating the OPCAT’s spirit, working methods, and the experience gained in the course of performing the NPM’s tasks is a basic obligation that could contribute to the prevention of torture and ill-treatment.229 Performing the NPM’s tasks requires direct contact with the widest possible strata of society. This relationship is rather complex since the NPM’s activities simultaneously affect various actors of public administration, representatives of civil society organizations, researchers, as well as ordinary citizens. In order to promote communication and to meet international expectations, my Office uploaded the NPM’s own homepage to the worldwide-web already in late 2014. It can be reached both in Hungarian and English on the institution’s website.230 The NPM’s homepage may also be reached from the SPT’s website.231 On the homepage, those interested may find information on the NPM’s operation, e.g., the ways to submit complaints, information having relevance to the places of detention, info materials for children, short news items on the visits, and the reports on the CCB’s meetings. I also made publicly available on the homepage all my reports, prepared within the frameworks of performing the tasks of the NPM, and their English language summaries. In 2016, due to the lack of financial resources, I could not have any of my reports, prepared as NPM, translated into English. 229 230 231 See “Guidelines on national preventive mechanism”, CAT/OP/12/5, Clause 29. http://www.ajbh.hu/opcat http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/OPCAT/Pages/NationalPreventiveMechanisms.aspx
