This week, Sam Gluckstein, Head of the UK NPM, spoke to Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland Chief Inspector Jacqui Durkin and Inspector Rachel Lindsay about the role of the NPM and its member organisations.
Each of the member bodies have different expertise, visit different settings and come at inspection and monitoring from a different angle. We call that the breadth and depth model. We have monitors who carry out breadth of monitoring with regular visits, and inspector who go in less frequently but take a deep-dive into establishments. Having an NPM with 21 member bodies gives us a shared expertise, shared learning and a chance to step back and look at systemic issues and hold the state to account. – Sam Gluckstein, Head of UK NPM
