Covid-19 (Impact on Criminal Justice Social Work and Criminal Justice Voluntary Sector)
Item 3 is consideration of correspondence from Social Work Scotland and the criminal justice voluntary sector forum that raise a number of issues relating to the impact of Covid-19. I refer members to paper 4.
Is there any specific action that we would like to take? Once again, it is an option to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice to ask him to respond to the issues that are raised. I do not see any requests for members to comment or suggest specific actions. Are we agreed to write to the cabinet secretary?
Members indicated agreement.
That concludes the public part of today’s meeting. The next meeting, on 23 June, will be stage 2 consideration of amendments to the Children (Scotland) Bill. Any follow-up scrutiny issues from today’s evidence session will be dealt with by correspondence, which will be published on the committee website. We now move into private session.
10:48 Meeting continued in private until 11:02.
