Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the recently announced increase in resources, approximately how many men it forecasts will be treated through the Caledonia System in 2022.
Answer
During 2022, we will take forward necessary preparatory work to support the national rollout of the Caledonian System with the aim of making it available to all 32 Scottish local authorities by the end of the parliamentary term.
The size of a local authority, and the domestic abuse offending rates within, play a significant role in any forecasting. The Caledonian System is currently available in 19 local authorities and by expanding its availability across Scotland we will significantly increase the number of men accessing the programme.
