Inside every prison, immigration removal centre and short-term holding facility there is an Independent Monitoring Board (IMB).

What You'll Do: 

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 HMP Deerbolt 

 

Visit imb.org.uk to find out more and book on our next virtual event

What You'll Learn: 
There are many rewards you will gain from volunteering with the IMB, such as being part of a committed team. You will also gain transferable skills which will benefit both you and your employer.
