One of the best meetings on the job so far. I was really pleased today to Chair the first Drug and Alcohol Recovery Expert Panel today.
Weāve convened this advisory panel of leading experts to provide robust, evidence-based insights to reduce and prevent demand for drugs and alcohol. We want people leaving the criminal justice system already on the road to recovery.
This panel's work will be critical to our ambitions to reduce reoffending. More information to be published on the panel's work in due course.

We are proud to operate in a country where no child is sent to prison.
The removal of children from Scotland's prisons is a historic milestone in the creation of a justice system rooted in care, compassion, and the protection of our most vulnerable.

No children or young people under the age of 18 are in prison in Scotland. A historic achievement.
Removal of the last remaining children from Polmont - and the guarantee no Scottish child will be jailed again - is a fitting legacy for William Lindsay.
