Our Service benefits from having a clear vision. When we developed our Corporate Plan (the Plan) for 2017/20 we did so in a spirit of optimism as we sought to implement the vision for change that emerged from our Organisational Review.

This Corporate Parenting Plan sets out how SPS will deliver its statutory obligations as Corporate Parent. In developing the Plan valuable contributions were made by partner agencies including the Centre Excellence for Looked after Children in Scotland (CELCIS) and the Centre for Youth & Criminal Justice (CYCJ).

SPS aims to achieve this by ensuring the delivery of secure custody, safe and ordered prisons, decent standards of care and opportunities for those in its care to develop in a way that helps them reintegrate into the community on release.
