Criminal Justice Committee

Priorities in the Justice Sector and an Action Plan

Meeting date: 20 April 2022

Audrey Nicoll

I thank members very much. We are a wee bit over time. I appreciate members’ comments. We will return to the action plan before the summer recess to find out what further progress is being made on the points that we have picked up and the recommendations that we previously made.

We could ask about what recruitment mitigation is being put in place.

Is there anything else? Otherwise, we will consider the SSIs that have just gone through—

Maybe we should pick that up. It is a good point.

Pauline, do you want to come in?

That is fine. I think that we will cover that a bit in the action plan, but that is certainly noted. Thanks very much.

Are there any other comments on the submissions in paper 1?

Thank you. I will come back to the submission from the survivor in relation to a specific point that is made in it.

When we took evidence separately from the Minister for Drugs Policy and the United Kingdom Minister of State for Crime and Policing at the joint committee meetings that we held, there was quite a bit of discussion about safe consumption rooms. That is relevant to that point.

We move on to violence against women and girls—[Interruption.] I beg your pardon, Jamie.

That takes us on to pages 14 and 15. I am conscious of time. I point to pages 16 and 17. We have spoken about the review of service standards, and I am pleased to see reference to the stalking and harassment SOP and the training from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust. That is of value.

Thank you. We move on to page 22 and the section on “Reducing youth offending” and “offering community justice solutions and alternatives to custody”. Does anyone have anything to raise on that? If not, we will move on to page 26 and the section on legal aid.
