Independent Monitoring Boards 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. They report on whether the individuals held there are being treated fairly and humanely and whether prisoners are being given the support they need to turn their lives around. This can make a huge difference to the lives of those held within these facilities.
We are looking for volunteers to join the Scotland and Northern Ireland Short-Term Holding Facility board to monitor Aberdeen Airport.
For more information please contact Rebecca Sheehan, Regional Support Lead at email: rebecca.sheehan1@justice.gov.uk and details are also available at https://imb.org.uk/prison-volunteer/prison-volunteer-uk/be-a-prison-volunteer-in-scotland-northern-ireland/#scotland
