Justice social work

Justice social work is a field of social work that aims to:

• reduce reoffending
• protect the public
• help people involved in the criminal justice system
• promote partnership working, between us and the third sector and independent organisations 

It is governed by national legislation and justice legislation – Scottish Government.

Community justice partnership

We work together with the local community justice partnership. We work:

• to prevent and reduce further offending by addressing its underlying causes
• together to help safely and effectively manage and support those who have committed offences  – this helps to enable them to reintegrate effectively into their community and realise their potential
