The Lord Chancellor and Deputy Prime Minister has approved the reappointment of a Parole Board member. 


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 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.

Beckie Agami, a psychologist member, has been reappointed for a further term of 5 years from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2031.
