Northern Ireland Policing Board Independent Custody Visiting
Scheme (NIPBICVS) continues to monitor the compliance of Police
Service Northern Ireland (PSNI) with the Human Rights Act 1998.
Following NPM recommendations, non-designated police stations in
Northern Ireland came under the statutory remit of the Independent
Custody Visiting Scheme from May 2016. After an agreement in the
last period that NIPBICVS would monitor arrests under section 41 of
the Terrorism Act 2000, anticipating that suspects may be charged
under other legislation, recommendations from the NIPBICVS report
led to the PSNI carrying out a comprehensive review of 168 section 41
arrests. Custody visitors found that those held in police custody often
had complex health needs and the scheme oversaw a PSNI review of
health care in custody, which led to the provision of new specialist staff
and other plans for improvement.
