a
Community Justice Scotland,
b
each of the other community justice partners,
c
such third sector bodies involved in community justice as they consider appropriate, and
d
such other persons as they consider appropriate.

As soon as reasonably practicable after a revised strategy has been published under subsection (2)(a), the Scottish Ministers must lay a copy of it before the Scottish Parliament.

ceases to apply in relation to the previous strategy, and
