Member overview
In the first annual report of the UK NPM, we
profiled each of the NPM members, setting
out detailed information on their mandate,
structure and methodology. Rather than
replicate that information in subsequent
annual reports, we have set out below a short
description of each member, as a reminder.
We have also included details of any
significant changes during 2013–14. Detailed
information about each member can be found
in our first annual report, the online database
of UK NPM members, or the annual reports
or websites of the individual members.49
Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales
CSSIW regulates and inspects all social
care services in Wales. This includes secure
accommodation where children are placed
either for their offending behaviour or
because they pose a significant risk to
themselves or others. CSSIW also monitors
the deprivation of liberty safeguards during
its regular inspections of adult care homes
and reports annually to the Welsh Ministers
on the operation of the safeguards.

Care Inspectorate
Established by the Public Services Reform
(Scotland) Act 2010, the Care Inspectorate is
the independent scrutiny and improvement
body for social work and social care and
support services for people of all ages. The
Inspectorate was established in April 2011
from three previously existing scrutiny
bodies: the Scottish Commission for the
Regulation of Care (Care Commission) for
care services; the Social Work Inspection
Agency (SWIA) which carried out strategic
inspections of social work services in
the community, and a directorate of Her
Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education (HMIE)
which carried out joint inspections of services
to protect children. As part of its new remit,
the Care Inspectorate regulates secure
homes for children and young people as well
as other residential services.

Care Quality Commission
CQC is an independent statutory organisation
responsible for monitoring, inspecting and
regulating health and adult social care
services in England, to make sure they
meet fundamental standards of quality and
safety. CQC also monitors the operation of
the Mental Health Act 1983, including those
who are detained under mental health law.
CQC carries out inspections of health care in
prisons and immigration detention alongside
Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMI
Prisons) and participates in inspections of
police custody alongside HMI Prisons and Her
Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary.
