Bringing professionals together is at the heart of our business. Our Strategic Management Group has representation at senior manager level from all our statutory partners and co-ordinates the work of our business and thematic groups. Through these groups we provide a co-ordinated approach to the delivery of offender services.

Chief Officers' Group

Meetings of the eight Chief Officers are co-ordinated centrally by the CJA National Central Support Manager, based in the Glasgow CJA Office.

Chief Officers meet collectively on a monthly basis and meet on a two-monthly basis with representatives from the Scottish Government Criminal Justice Directorate.

Chief Officers are accountable to their respective CJA Board for the implementation of strategies, policies, action, business and financial plans, and to Scottish Ministers for delivery of National Outcomes of the Managment of Offenders Strategy.
