Our Vision is that people affected by crime – victims, witnesses, and their families – are treated with dignity and respect and are at the heart of the justice in Scotland. Our Mission is to ensure that all those affected by crime receive high quality support that will help them to recover from their experiences.

All our work is guided and underpinned by our six core principles of being engaging and compassionate ; inclusive and accessible ; person-centred ; adaptive, flexible, and responsive ; collaborative ; and knowledgeable and skilled .
