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).

The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the Scottish Prison Service, its purpose and activities. This section also includes information on key risks and issues for the organisation as well as a high-level summary of performance.
