Scottish Prisons Assessment and Review of Outcomes for Women

Notice Description

The Scottish Government's (SG) Justice Analytical Services (JAS), on behalf of Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), wishes to commission a research project to evaluate the early impact and emerging outcomes of SPS's new innovative model of Community Custody Units (CCUs).
