These themes are elaborated in Chapter 2. Appendix II provides an elaboration of the supervisory activities and Appendix III addresses the advisory activities in more detail. Reinforcement of the NPM The first steps towards intensifying the collaboration between the organisations forming the NPM network were taken in 2014. The NPM continued this intensification drive in 2015. The July 2015 advisory visit of the United Nations' Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) to the Netherlands and the Dutch NPM contributed to this. For instance, the NPM drew up a statement in 2015. The various NPM organisations may use this text in the reports drawn up by them on the performance of their NPMrelated duties. This allows the NPM organisations to draw attention to their functioning as NPM, which also contributes to preventing inhuman treatment. In addition, the NPM performs a self-assessment to obtain a better view of those fields requiring reinforcement. The collaboration between the various Inspectorates was enhanced as well, evidenced by, inter alia, the establishment of a joint Youth Inspection Desk for Municipal Authorities. This desk allows municipal authorities to contact the Inspectorates with their questions in the field of youth care, even within 9 In addition to making thematic reports, the IGZ also visits individual healthcare providers that may implement restrictions of freedoms.
