Section three Strengthing the NPM inspections in 2017 and a report on the Juvenile Justice Centre was published in June 2018. In addition, CJINI undertook thematic inspections of resettlement and equality and diversity, the findings of which will be published later in 2018. During the year, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) continued with its regular programme of visits to hospitals where people are deprived of their liberty either by virtue of detention under the Mental Health Act or Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. HIW also continued to undertake joint inspections of police custody and continued to monitor the effectiveness of the Welsh Mental Health Care Crisis Concordat that puts a framework in place to prevent individuals with a suspected mental health issue being admitted into police custody under section 136 of the Mental Health Act. HIW finalised its guidance for Second Opinion Appointed Doctors and it is anticipated that this will be published in June 2018. Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) jointly carried out eight police custody inspections in England and Wales, and an inspection of the custody arrangements for Border Force. The inspections showed that most detainees held in police custody were treated respectfully and received good levels of care. Inspections continued to find that scrutiny of the use of force on detainees remained weak in most police forces visited, leading to a letter being sent to all Chief Constables in early 2018 to raise these issues. Work began to revise the Expectations for Police Custody to incorporate the changes introduced by the Police and Crime Act 2017 and the recommendations made by Dame Elish Angiolini in her Report of the Independent Review of Deaths and Serious Incidents in Police Custody, which was published October 2017. A tailored inspection methodology and set of Expectations was also developed with HMI Prisons to support the inspection of Terrorism Act (TACT) custody facilities, planned for the 2018–19 inspection programme. In January 2018, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS), published a report on police custody centres located in Tayside Division. This followed inspections of three centres in Tayside in September 2017, and a reinspection of one of those centres in November 2017 due to significant concerns HMICS had about cleanliness and hygiene issues. HMICS continues to work towards joint inspections of police custody with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS). In preparation for these joint inspections, HIS inspectors shadowed HMICS on its inspection of one of the Tayside centres. HMICS also participated in the inspection of custody arrangements for Border Force, led by HMICFRS and HMI Prisons, visiting the custody centre at Glasgow Airport. Throughout the year, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMI Prisons) continued its regular programme of inspections of prisons, establishments holding children and young people, immigration detention, police and court custody, Border Force customs custody suites and military detention. HMI Prisons published two revised editions of its Expectations during the year following extensive consultation. Expectations: Criteria for assessing the treatment of and conditions for men in prisons, was published in July 2017. In January 2018, the fourth edition 41
