My office has convened a Domestic Abuse Advisory Group, and I chaired its first meeting. The agenda was wide ranging as we explored the areas of work which could form part of the work plan for the office and in particular, where the added value will be in this work. This is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic group and I look forward to developing our work in this area.
I met with Phil Raines and Scott Wood (Scottish Government) to discuss the potential for joint work in the upcoming government legislative programme.
