The UK NPM is coordinated by HM Inspectorate of Prisons and a Steering Group made up of
representatives from the four nations guides decision-making.
What difference does being part of the NPM make?
Being part of the NPM brings both recognition and responsibilities. NPM members’ powers
to inspect, monitor and visit places of detention are formally recognised as part of the
UK’s efforts to prevent torture. At the same time, NPM members have the responsibility to
ensure that their working practices are consistent with standards for preventive monitoring
established by OPCAT.
