Treatment of detainees in places of detention—preparation of report
8Q Treatment of detainees in places of detention—preparation of report
Following an examination of the treatment of detainees in a place of detention under division 1A.3, the NPM may prepare a report about the following:
the examination;
any recommendation or observation made under section 8P in relation to the examination;
any steps that have been or are proposed to be taken in relation to the recommendation or observation made under section 8P.
The NPM may give a copy of the draft report to any responsible entity for the place of detention.
If the NPM gives a copy of the draft report to a responsible entity, the NPM—
may invite the entity to give comments on the copy of the draft report within a reasonable period; and
must consider any comments given by the entity under paragraph (a).
The NPM may also give a copy of the draft report or a copy of part of the draft report to any other entity the NPM is satisfied has a direct interest in the draft report.
However, if the NPM gives a copy of the draft report or a copy of part of the draft report to an entity that is a non-public sector entity under subsection (4), the NPM must first do the things mentioned in subsections (2) and (3) with—
each responsible entity mentioned in the report; and
each responsible entity that is, or is likely to be, directly affected by the report; and
any other responsible entity prescribed by regulation.
Note Power to make a regulation includes power to make different provision in relation to different matters or different classes of matters, and to make a regulation that applies differently by reference to stated exceptions or factors (see Legislation Act, s 48).
