The Ministry of Justice is committed to fulfilling its obligations under disability discrimination acts to ensure that people with disabilities can play a full role in the justice system. Our policy is to ensure that judicial office holders with disabilities are treated fairly and consistently.
We launched a reasonable adjustment policy in August 2007, which set out a broad approach to issues of reasonable adjustment for people with disabilities who apply for a judicial appointment, are new appointees or who are serving members of the judiciary. Part of the policy included a review of its impact on judicial office holders approximately six months after its implementation.
The updated policy and review are the result of the six-month assessment of the effectiveness of the policy.
