Recommendation 12

We call on the Ministry of Justice to work with the Independent Monitoring Board’s National Chair to prioritise the sustainability of IMBs across Wales by undertaking a targeted recruitment campaign—with a focus on bilingual Welsh speakers—to ensure that each of Wales’ IMBs is fully resourced and able to undertake its statutory obligations. We expect the Department to outline the staffing levels of each of Wales’ IMBs in its response to this report, noting current figures as well as full complement target figures. (Recommendation, Paragraph 45)
