Overview of the role

The Judicial Office

The Judicial Office (JO) reports and is accountable to the Lady Chief Justice (LCJ) and was established in 2006 to provide support to the LCJ and to the wider judiciary following the Constitutional Reform Act 2005. In addition, we support, and are accountable to, the Senior President of Tribunals, whose responsibilities extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

We are an Arm’s Length Body sponsored by the MoJ. This creates an interesting and complex environment in which to work w we agree our priorities with the senior judiciary and receive our funding to deliver them from the MoJ. The JO has been through a period of significant growth resulting from an expansion of our remit and responsibilities.

Judicial Security Office

Working ly with law enforcement, security partners and Government stakeholders, the postholder will support the continuous improvement of security services across the judiciary.
