Current status: Answered by Angela Constance on 9 October 2025
To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it (a) has had and (b) plans to have with victim support organisations regarding the effect and promotion of the regulations relating to exclusion zone conditions, as set out in section 29J of the Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill.
I, with officials, recently met with victims who have an interest in the regulations and changes that will be made to exclusions zones in licence conditions. The Government will also, and shortly, engage further with Victim Support Scotland, and other stakeholders to promote and encourage views on how best to develop these changes into operational practice.
