OVERVIE W OF THE INVESTIGATIONS BY OPC AT UNIT IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER OF 2020 Ombudsmen in each own-initiative inquiry.

The Parliamentary Ombudsmen’s decisions in each own-initiative inquiry can be found on the Parliamentary Ombudsmen’s website.7 The report contains five sections that describe various aspects of the impact Covid-19 has had on the situation for people deprived of their liberty.
