- Lead, support and represent independent custody visiting schemes in the United Kingdom, ensuring best practice is disseminated and that areas of good practice and causes for concern arising in custody are proactively shared nationally.
- Promote the wellbeing and effective care of detainees in police custody in the UK, ensuring that all detainees are treated with fairness and dignity.

- Fundraising
- Communications
- Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion.
