Criminal Justice

What you told us

For those who have come in to contact with the justice system, some of you have had positive relationships with advocacy support and with police officers. Others have felt isolated and don’t have an experience of being supported.


Our Commitment

Orkney is committed to supporting care leavers who may be involved with, or at risk of becoming involved with, the criminal justice system through a relationship-based, trauma-informed, and preventative approach.

Care leavers will receive

  • Early intervention, skills development, meaningful opportunities, and tailored support from a range of services.
  • Access to help to understand criminal justice processes.
  • Support to have their views represented including legal representation.
