Role description
Inside every
prison, immigration removal centre and short-term holding facility there is an
Independent Monitoring Board (IMB).
IMBs are made
up of over a thousand unpaid volunteers operating in every prison in England
and Wales, and every immigration detention facility across the UK.
IMB members are
the eyes and ears of the public, appointed by ministers to perform a vital
task: independent monitoring of prisons and immigration detention.
We are
currently recruiting to the Board at Derwentside IRC and this campaign closes
on 25th Feb 2024
