Becoming a member of your local Independent Monitoring Board (IMB)
What does it take to be an IMB member?
It is important that Boards are made up of a cross section of the local community with members coming from all walks of life. We value the different skills and experiences that members are able to bring to the Boards.
We are not looking for any special qualifications but candidates must demonstrate they have the personal qualities, enthusiasm, commitment and time to make a full contribution to the work of a Board.
Personal Qualities
IMB members should posses a number of personal qualities:
- Commitment to diversity, equality and human rights
- Effective communications skills
- Excellent teamwork skills
- Good listening skills
- Commitment
- Perseverance
- Integrity
- Ability to maintain confidentiality
Above all we are looking for people with the time, energy and enthusiasm to make a full contribution to the work of their local Board.
Being an IMB member is likely to take up an average of two to three days per month of your time, although this can vary slightly depending on your local Board and the size and nature of the establishment it monitors.
