The Strategy for Justice in Scotland: Summary - Scottish Government The Strategy for Justice in Scotland: Summary - Scottish Government
Taking the strategy forward The Scottish Government and our partners are fully committed to taking forward the approaches set out in this document to deliver our shared vision and outcomes. We believe that it is only through the pursuit of such an ambitious and innovative approach, rooted firmly in the evidence, that we will secure our desired outcomes for the people of Scotland. Progress towards achieving the strategic outcomes will be formally monitored and managed by the Justice Board, which includes Scottish Government Directors, non-Executive Directors and the heads of key justice organisations. The members of the Justice Board positively endorse the strategic approach set out in this strategy. While respecting the proper separation of powers essential in a fair justice system, they will develop business planning, co-ordinate risk management and monitor delivery of both the portfolio of justice change programmes and ongoing core business. They will support communication and improve partnership working at all levels across justice organisations. In addition to monitoring overall progress using annual National Performance Framework indicators, a new set of indicators will be developed to monitor benefits, outputs and progress towards the justice outcomes. To achieve our justice vision and outcomes requires a joint effort and co-operation from all sectors of society – the public sector, partners, businesses, communities and individuals. It may be a challenging task but, as a shared endeavour, we feel confident that we will successfully achieve our aim of making Scotland safer and stronger. The evidence has demonstrated that we are already making good progress but there is much good work still to be done. 26
