HELPING TO BUILD A SAFER SCOTLAND, UNLOCKING POTENTIAL, TRANSFORMING LIVES

 

The Vision, Mission and Values for the SPS are central to our direction. The aim is to build on the already strong foundations of the  service to develop an improved focus and investment in rehabilitation and reintegration services that help people in our care to fulfill their potential as responsible citizens.

• view ourselves as part of the 'whole system';

• develop a person-centred asset-based approach;

•  promote individual agency and self-efficacy to realise potential;

• strengthen links into communities and support through-care; and

• professionalise and invest in SPS staff as effective change agents.
