Independent team to continue monitoring care centres

AMMAN — The Social Development Ministry and Penal Reform International on Wednesday renewed a cooperation agreement governing the work of the national independent team for monitoring care centres in Jordan.

Under the agreement, the specialised taskforce will continue monitoring care centres, assessing their performance and training the ministry’s inspectors, while the ministry will continue to provide the necessary logistic support for the team.

The team members are guaranteed full access to care centre without having to obtain previous approvals.

The ministry will also continue to receive their reports and take the necessary measures to address any issues they highlight.
