On 12 January 2021 secondary legislation “to improve Scotland’s parole system, providing greater transparency for victims, relatives and the public” were introduced to Parliament. The report on the Transforming Parole consultation had promised actions to "help victims, support prisoners and assist the Parole Board to become more open, visible and transparent", however, only actions relating to victims have been included. One of our Committee Members, Dr. Katrina Morrison attended the latest meeting of the Transforming Parole Implementation Group on our behalf, where it was clear that a lot of consultation with victims’ groups had taken place recently, but that this process had not been mirrored by similar opportunities for high level Government meetings for those seeking parole. This is something we intend to continue to question.
