Parole Board

June 9
09:00 2022

Parole Board members are appointed, by ministers, under Schedule 19 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003. The appointment of Parole Board members - save for judicial members - is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments (CPA). Recruitment processes comply - save for judicial members - with the Governance Code on Public Appointments.

The Parole Board is an independent body that works with its criminal justice partners to protect the public by risk assessing prisoners to decide whether they can be safely released into the community.

The Parole Board was established by the Criminal Justice Act 1967. It is a Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Ministry of Justice
