The Justice Social Work Service works to reduce reoffending, support people to become more included in their communities, and strengthen public protection by working closely with partner agencies.
We understand the impact that repeated offending has on communities, families, and victims.
In East Lothian, the team works with a range of services to help people move away from offending and successfully reintegrate into their local communities.
