The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) is creating new, state of the art facilities to allow children and vulnerable witnesses to give their evidence in criminal trials and to participate in tribunal hearings within a safe, sensitive and secure environment.

The Plan sets out our commitments on the use of BSL (including tactile BSL) in connection with the exercise of our functions over the period from 2018-24.

The SCTS has been re-accredited for meeting the CSE standard in 2018.

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service is publishing a new statistical bulletin which – for the first time – will provide quarterly Official Statistics on criminal case activity in Scotland’s courts.

A total of 15 courts are taking part in the Doors Open Day 2018 event during September.
