Tayside Community Justice Authority, as it began its shadow year in April 2006-2007, made a firm

commitment to build relationships with a range of agencies to address the risks and needs presented by the

offender population in Tayside, both in prison and in our communities

Tayside CJA has further strengthened these shared aims, by providing a forum in which agencies can solve

problems together, share best practice, information and expertise. These strong partnerships provide a sound

basis through which to address the problem of re-offending in our communities.
