Become a Parole Board member

The Parole Board for Scotland (Parole Board) plays a vital role in the criminal justice system by determining which prisoners can serve the remainder of their sentence in the community, on licence and under supervision.

The Parole Board is a Tribunal non-departmental public body who work closely with the Parole Scotland Executive (PSE). The two are often referred to as the Parole Board, even though they perform different functions. PSE is staffed by civil servants who are assigned by the Scottish Government (SG) to provide corporate management to the Parole Board and are headed by a Chief Executive.
