The motion

That the Parliament commends Victim Support Scotland for achieving the Volunteers Investment Award, granted by the UK Volunteering Forum (UKVF); recognises what it sees as the vital work of Victim Support Scotland’s volunteers and their contribution to supporting people affected by crime; understands that Victim Support Scotland’s highly-trained volunteers provide essential support in both communities and courts across Scotland; further understands the positive impact that volunteers have on the experiences of people affected by crime, by providing emotional, trauma-informed support and helping them to navigate the criminal justice system, and believes that this award represents the UK quality standard for good practice in volunteer management.
