Acknowledgement of thanks for Lord Chief Justices
Ahead of the retirement of Lord Carloway and Lady Dorrian later this week, the chief executive of Children First, Mary Glasgow said:
“Under the leadership of Lord Carloway and Lady Dorrian, the Scottish justice system has made significant strides in supporting child victims and witnesses. From the Evidence and Procedure Review, through the improvements to pre-recording of evidence, to supporting Children First to develop Scotland’s first Bairns Hoose, Lord Carloway and Lady Dorrian have unwaveringly championed children’s rights and needs to give evidence without experiencing trauma.
"We wish them both all the best for the future and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the strong legacy they are leaving; a more child-friendly justice system for all children in Scotland.”
