Overview
The Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill is currently at stage 3 consultation. The Bill will progress the ambition and priorities set out in the Vision for Justice to deliver person-centred and trauma-informed practices, including taking greater action to hear victims' voices.
Police Scotland’s 2030 Vision supports this ambition. It sets out to ensure that victims are fully heard and supported, with our service more tailored to victims’ needs through a trauma-informed approach. We will do this by co-ordinating the delivery of trauma-informed practice in collaboration with partners and further develop trauma-informed training and mental health awareness ensuring staff are confident, trained and empowered.
