Judicial Factors (Scotland) Bill: islands communities impact assessment

An islands communities impact assessment (ICIA) to consider the impact of the Judicial Factors (Scotland) Bill.


Step four - Assessment

Does your assessment identify any unique impacts on island communities?

No. It is not anticipated that the impact of the Bill on island communities will be different from that of communities on the mainland.

Does your assessment identify any potential barriers or wider impacts?

The Scottish Government does not consider there to be any potential barriers.

How will you address these?

N/A

Given the foregoing, it is considered that this Bill will not have an effect on an island community which is significantly different from its effect on other communities (including other island communities).

In preparing the ICIA, I have formed an opinion that our policy, strategy or service is NOT likely to have an effect on an island community which is significantly different from its effect on other communities (including other island communities).
