In 2007-08 IHRN was commissioned to provide an independent human rights training evaluation service to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). The evaluation follows from Recommendation 12 of the Northern Ireland Policing Board's 2006 Human Rights Annual Report, that: "The PSNI should put in place a scheme for the expert and comprehensive evaluation of the delivery of PSNI training on human rights".

The evaluation seeks to establish the extent to which the training delivered by PSNI incorporates human rights principles and standards and aims to enhance PSNI's planning, monitoring and evaluation framework for its training. All training aspects are being evaluated with the exception of Special Operations Branch. Questions regarding the evaluation may be directed to the evaluation team leader Patrick Twomey.
