Overview

The Community Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 established Community Justice Scotland (CJS) as the national organisation for promoting, monitoring, and supporting improvement in the delivery of community justice in Scotland.

CJS is here for everyone who has experience of the justice system in Scotland. Victims, people who have broken the law, practitioners and professionals working within the criminal justice system, members of the Scottish Government, policy makers, and legislators but most importantly the population of Scotland who need to be assured that the system of justice is fair, safe, and effective.

CJS’ vision We all want Scotland to be a place where we can all feel safe. That is why we need a justice system than we can rely on. We will achieve that goal through constant innovation and by collaborating closely with our partners to develop new ways of supporting people who have committed a crime, their families and the various agencies that help to break the cycle of reoffending, allowing people to make a positive contribution to society.

Our People Strategy sets out our vision for the type of organisation we want to be. We know that if you like the people, enjoy the role and feel listened to and valued, you will feel fulfilled and productive in your role. We learn from each other and promote continuous improvement in what we do. You will meet great people, and you will be inspired by the work that goes on across Scotland and beyond.
