RMA Review and Conference Update.....
18 December 2009
Following the review of the RMA during the Landscape Review, we are working with officials of the Justice and Communities Directorate and other stakeholders to develop processes that will deliver increasing public value and contribute to the Scottish Government's Reducing Reoffending Programme.
During the coming months, the Board and Senior Management Team of the RMA will finalise its corporate and business plan.
Pending the outcome of the Landscape Review it was decided to postpone the 2009 Annual Conference, and this will be rescheduled during 2010 when we will be in a position to announce details of our ongoing corporate strategy and related business plan.
We will then compile a programme of seminars, workshops and forums aimed at our key stakeholders. These events will run throughout 2010 and details will be posted on the events page as they become available.
