The Supporting Offenders with Learning Disabilities (SOLD) network was established in response to the Keys to Life, (the 2013 Scottish Government strategy on improving the quality of life for people with learning disabilities), recommendation 46:
That a national criminal action group is to be established in 2013, consisting of professionals in this field and working in partnership with people with learning disabilities, to identify challenges and promote opportunities and influence change and to provide support for people with learning disabilities in the criminal justice system.
The work of SOLD is funded by the Scottish Government Community Justice Division.
