Benefits to Employers

As an employer, you can make a significant contribution to your community by supporting and assisting employees who wish to become Justices of the Peace. Your organisation will also reap the rewards of the wide-reaching training and experience Justices of the Peace receive to enhance their skills. They receive training in:

• Teamworking
• Communication skills
• Decision-making
• Presentation skills
• Leadership and mentoring
• Time management
• Acceptance of responsibility
• Legal issues and regulations

These are the types of skills that can readily be transferred into the working environment. Justices of the Peace perform an invaluable service on behalf of our communities. Through the continuing support of employers we can ensure that Justices of the Peace receive the encouragement they deserve and help to promote a fairer and safer Scotland.
