Benefits of international collaboration on modernising justice systems
We spoke at the annual United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) session in Vienna. HMCTS representatives discussed video hearings and video evidence, focusing on how they're helping to support court users, victims and witnesses.
Change to MyHMCTS for Case Access Administrators
MyHMCTS Case Access Administrators can now see all cases in their organisation. They can also add and remove users giving additional flexibility when people are on annual leave or have left the organisation.
Vulnerability Action Plan update
We’ve updated our Vulnerability Action Plan, which outlines how courts and tribunals are changing and improving to support vulnerable people to access the justice system. We last updated and published the plan in October 2022 and as before, it includes our work to design future accessible services as part of the reform programme.

Read how colleagues at the Royal Courts of Justice Group have been working to improve access to justice for users with accessibility needs.
