Message from the MoJ: Reasonable Adjustments Policy for Judicial Office Holders, 2025
We are pleased to announce the reissue of the Ministry of Justice’s Reasonable Adjustments Policy for Disabled Judicial Office Holders. Ensuring reasonable adjustments for judicial office holders with disabilities remains a top priority.
This updated policy serves as a renewed statement of intent, supported by detailed guidance for judicial office holders and those who work on reasonable adjustments at the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC), Judicial Office and HMCTS. We are grateful to all stakeholders who contributed to this update.
The revised policy, which can be downloaded below, aims to clarify responsibilities and address the shortcomings of the 2011 version, particularly in managing requests for reasonable adjustments when new judges, magistrates and tribunal members are appointed.
