Criminal justice
The Criminal Justice System is a term used to mean the police, courts, prison.
What are our recommendations on Criminal justice?
All justice organisations should make sure that they make easy read and other accessible information.
A national criminal justice action group will be set up in 2013. This group will be made up of people who work in the criminal justice area.
The group will:
- Find out what the challenges are
- Promote opportunity
- Help to make changes
- Give support to people with learning disabilities
It is important that people who work in the Criminal Justice System have access to the guide 'People with Learning Disabilities and the Criminal Justice System.'
This guide will help them to think about how they can best support people with learning disabilities.
Research will be done across the Criminal Justice System in Scotland.
This research will find out the health needs of people with learning disabilities within the Criminal Justice System. This will help us to know how to improve their health.
