Victims of Crime - Victim Notification Scheme

Victim Notification Scheme

This scheme allows some victims of serious crimes to be told when the offender is eligible for release from prison. Written representations may also be made to the Parole Board before any decision is taken to release the offender on licence.

Guidance is available on the Victim Notification Scheme and more information can also be obtained from the Scottish Prison Service or 0131 244 8670.
