CAT/OP/GBR/ROSP/1 (b) custody; An individualized risk assessment is made for each person in court (c) Staff receives training to meet the individual needs of detainees, particularly children. V. Next steps 107. The Subcommittee requests that a reply to the present report be provided within six months of the date of its transmittal to the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom. The reply should respond directly to all the recommendations and requests for further information made in the report, giving a full account of action that has already been taken or is planned (including timescales) in order to implement the recommendations. It should include details concerning the implementation of institution-specific recommendations and concerning general policy and practice.57 108. Article 15 of the Optional Protocol prohibits all forms of sanction or reprisal, from all sources, against anyone who has been, or who has sought to be, in contact with the Subcommittee. The Subcommittee reminds the United Kingdom of its obligation to ensure that no such sanctions or reprisals take place and requests that it provide in its reply detailed information concerning the steps that it has taken to ensure that it has fulfilled that obligation.58 109. The Subcommittee recalls that prevention of torture and ill-treatment is a continuing and wide-ranging obligation. 59 It therefore requests that the United Kingdom inform it of any legislative, regulatory, policy or other relevant developments relating to the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty and regarding the work of the national preventive mechanism. 110. The Subcommittee considers both its visit and the present report to form part of an ongoing process of dialogue. The Subcommittee looks forward to assisting the United Kingdom in fulfilling its obligations under the Optional Protocol by providing further advice and technical assistance, in order to achieve the common goal of prevention of torture and ill-treatment in places of deprivation of liberty. The Subcommittee believes that the most efficient and effective way of developing the dialogue would be for it to meet with the national authorities responsible for the implementation of the Subcommittee’s recommendations within six months of receiving the reply to the present report. 111. The Subcommittee recommends that, in accordance with article 12 (d) of the Optional Protocol, the national authorities of the United Kingdom enter into dialogue with the Subcommittee on the implementation of the Subcommittee’s recommendations, within six months of the Subcommittee’s receipt of the reply to the present report. The Subcommittee also recommends that the United Kingdom initiate discussions with the Subcommittee on the arrangements for such a dialogue at the time of the submission of its reply to the present report.60 57 58 59 60 The reply should also conform to the guidelines concerning documentation to be submitted to the United Nations human rights treaty bodies established by the General Assembly. See letters sent to permanent missions on 8 May 2014. The manner in which the Subcommittee addresses the issue of reprisals and sanctions is set out in CAT/OP/6/Rev.1. See CAT/OP/12/6 and the Committee’s general comment No. 2 (2007). The United Kingdom is encouraged to consider approaching the OHCHR treaty body capacitybuilding programme (registry@ohchr.org), which may be able to facilitate the dialogue.
