Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee

Future Parliamentary Procedures and Practices Inquiry

I am conscious of the time. However, if any of the other witnesses want to come in, I do not want to exclude them.

Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee

Future Parliamentary Procedures and Practices Inquiry

Meeting date: 26 May 2022

Collette Stevenson

Good morning. It is lovely to meet you all online and in person. I will touch on accessibility and what we have done about that so far. Would you like to see any of those changes continue? How can we enhance or tweak what we do? Some of you have touched on it. Today, there are six witnesses at the meeting; four of you are online and two are in the committee room. Do you think that that is the right balance? To contextualise that, is there anything else that we can do to enhance your journey to interact with us here, in Parliament?

Criminal Justice Committee

Proposed Bail and Release from Custody Bill

Meeting date: 18 May 2022

Collette Stevenson

I totally concur with everything that everyone has said: it was an excellent visit. It was amazing to hear about the recidivism rates that the Wise Group has, which are fantastic and a measure of how good the organisation is. I was blown away by the amazing plethora of talent and experience that the mentors have. Some of the services that the Wise Group provides through the Prison Service, such as the email a prisoner scheme, are fantastic.

I was totally taken by the Wise Group, and I have emailed Charlie Martin and Sean Duffy to see whether, during recess, I can visit for a full day to see the work that they do. I will keep in touch with them.

Criminal Justice Committee

Policing and Mental Health

Meeting date: 18 May 2022

Collette Stevenson

You have touched on distress brief interventions. Are they awarded to people in custody? Do third sector organisations come in during their period of custody? Can you talk about the level 2 aspect, too?

I also want to ask about the pilot schemes that you have already touched on—the DBI scheme and the mental health pathway pilot. How effective have they been? What lessons have been learned about what can be done better? For instance, notwithstanding the involvement of the national health service, the police and the Scottish Ambulance Service, should a dedicated emergency service line be put in place? Would that be effective as far as mental health responders are concerned? Can John Hawkins respond to that?

Criminal Justice Committee

Online Child Abuse, Grooming and Exploitation

Meeting date: 18 May 2022

Bex Smith, could you respond to the question, too?

For instance, the video on your website—the one in which the door is lying open and the girl is upstairs in her bedroom on her iPad—
