The information on this site was compiled by Dr M. J. Grant and Dr Kasey McCall-Smith, University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with the UK National Preventive Mechanism, which monitors UK compliance with the UN Convention Against Torture. The first guidance brief is the product of a workshop held on 10 June 2024 under the title Understanding the Environmental Conditions of Detention with the support of the University of Edinburgh College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Knowledge Exchange and Impact Grant, and Edinburgh Law School. Our thanks to all the participants of the workshop for sharing their expertise, views and ideas.
