This vision represents a shared foundation between the Scottish Government and partners to continue to support the agenda to keep children out of the criminal justice system and promote the use of the Whole System Approach.

This updated vision for children and young people represents a shared foundation between the Scottish Government, key partners and children and families. It reflects our commitment to work together to prevent children from being involved in behaviour which leads them into conflict with the law, and when they do, to ensure Scotland’s response means that their rights are protected and upheld and their recovery and reintegration are promoted.
