Voices in Justice: Parole Reform in Scotland

Closes 11 Nov 2025

Transparency

We are committed to ensuring that victims feel listened to and are fully informed when they engage with the parole process. We recognise that there are opportunities to do more to achieve this through greater transparency and improvements in information sharing.

12. What information do you feel is most important for victims to receive in order to support their understanding of, and engagement with, the parole process?
13. How could digital tools (e.g. videos, podcasts, online updates) be used to improve people’s understanding and experience of the parole process?
14. Do you have any other suggestions for improving communication, transparency, or information sharing in the parole system?
