We will use our findings to push for urgent action on outstanding recommendations where progress is too slow. We will share this report with a range of bodies to allow progress to be assessed and tracked over time.
This includes:
The Criminal Justice Committee of the Scottish Parliament
Audit Scotland
The European Committee on the Prevention of Torture
The Human Rights Committee
The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture
Together with the National Preventive Mechanism, we will also track progress
We have been particularly concerned about the lack of available data for monitoring in the Highlands and Islands, when compared with the rest of Scotland.

Lack of affordable housing
Limited access to sufficient and nutritious food
