About Us

Working in partnership to reduce re-offending

South West Scotland CJA is made up of elected members from each of the four local authorities in our area. We also work with a wide range of partner organisations which deliver services for offenders, their victims and the families of offenders. Our partners include local authority criminal justice social work services, Scottish Prison Service, the police, NHS and voluntary organisations.

The Community Justice Authority is the main decision making body and meets quarterly. We also have a structure of planning and implementation groups tasked with taking forward our Area Plan.

South West Scotland also employs a small staff team to support the work of the Community Justice Authority.
