Independent Monitors - NA

There are various volunteering opportunities available within North Ayrshire. Please browse the selection below to find a suitable volunteering opportunity in your local area: 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. Although this is an unpaid role, we pay travel and subsistence expenses, childcare/carer costs and, in certain circumstances, contributions towards loss of earnings. Support Excellent support and relevant training are provided to all volunteers. During the first nine to twelve months of volunteering, you will shadow experienced members of your local Board. You will also be allocated a mentor who will support you throughout your professional development. Restrictions There are some restrictions on volunteering roles, which will be discussed during the application process. Frequency & commitment The volunteering times are flexible. Volunteers (aged 18-25) taking part in this opportunity are eligible to claim Saltire Awards hours for their activity.
