Organizational structure: |
The DPP has been run since its inception by two Executive Directors with a small support team. It is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee registered in England under company number 5579286. The organisation is supported by a sister charity, The Death Penalty Project Charitable Trust, registered with the UK Charities Commission under the registered charity number 1115035. The Executive Directors are assisted by groups of experts in different and complementary fields, including a team of UK barristers who provide pro bono legal advice and representation to prisoners under sentence of death; doctors including forensic psychiatrists and psychologists, who assess individual prisoners; and internationally acclaimed academics, criminologists and researchers. Internal evaluation of the DPP and its methodology is carried out by the Executive Directors, supervised by the non-executive Board of Directors, together with the Board of Trustees of the Charitable Trust. Valuable external evaluation, feedback and suggestions are provided by a dedicated Advisory Panel of leading experts in the fields of domestic and international human rights law. |
