Yes.

I will go to Colin Pritchard. Has there been any impact on you?

I was just trying to find it. It is on either the Rape Crisis Scotland site or the Police Scotland site. It is really good on what to expect and what not to expect.

Yes—it is very joined up.

Absolutely. That ties in with equality, diversity and meeting everyone’s needs. The video will be more accessible if it is on each of the websites that we have mentioned, and if it is subtitled. I think that I saw it on the Rape Crisis Scotland website.

I have an observation regarding support for victims and witnesses. Sometimes I go to the SCTS website and I look at various appeals and the criminal cases that are coming up, and I also look at the Judiciary of Scotland website. I came across a video about the process from start to finish for somebody who reports a sexual abuse case. It went through dealing with a sexual offences liaison officer and how the procurator fiscal deals with stuff, even from the medical perspective when the person is swabbed. It was really good. I always think that visual stuff such as that sends a strong, clear message about what to expect.

Would you consider putting that on your website to inform and help people and address the expectation gap that clearly exists, to judge from the evidence that we have taken from various people and the survivors that we have spoken to?

I want to drill down into that a wee bit. You mentioned Caroline Bruce. Did she deliver the training? If so, were any risk assessments carried out ahead of any actual trials? Moreover, does the training come from the current national framework for trauma-informed training?

I will touch on the trauma-informed approach. You referred to the standards in that regard, and I want to drill down into the subject a wee bit more. What training does the SCTS provide for its staff to give them the skills to deal with traumatised and vulnerable victims and witnesses?

You have talked about the elementary training. Is it correct, then, that the additional trauma-informed training has still to be rolled out to the SCTS and other partners in the justice system?

Good morning, and thanks very much for coming to the meeting.

I have visited the Coca-Cola Europacific Partners site in East Kilbride, which is in my constituency, and I know that there were challenges in finding a straw and attaching that to some of the products that are produced at that plant.

Do the regulations create any challenges around procurement for the public sector or businesses? Maybe you could say what you managed to do to solve that problem.
