ICM timetables

ICM does not change any of the timeframe set out in Prison Service Order (PSO) 4700 or PSO 6000 but aims to enhance compliance to the process.  Specifically the Board will:

1. Issue reminder letters if it appears that a dossier has not been sent to the prisoner to make his/her representations on time.
2. Issue a set of Directions if no dossier has been received at the Board by 13 weeks before the provisional month of hearing.
3. The Chief Executive will write to prisons seeking clarification on the reasons why dossiers were not ready on time, in order to identify where the system can be improved and address any failings.
4. List cases only where full dossiers exist, and all Parole Board Directions have been complied with.
5. List more intelligently taking into account many factors, e.g. time required, witnesses needed etc.
6. More sharing of information and consultation in setting hearing dates.
7. Aim to issue exact notifications 8 weeks before the date of hearing, giving much more notice to all parties.
