The SVC office was represented yesterday at an interesting and moving event at Trades House in Glasgow, presented by @careaftercombat, members of Thrive Together. The event offered a fascinating insight into the work being carried out to support veterans in prison and within the criminal justice system. 

Care after Combat works closely with criminal justice partners in England and Wales and delivers training and awareness sessions to organisations supporting veterans in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

My Veterans and the Law report examines the support in place for veterans involved in the criminal justice system and considers the role and contribution of those who work or volunteer within the system.
