<ol start="1"><li><p>The Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice are jointly responsible
for judicial discipline. They are supported by the independent Judicial Conduct Investigations
Office, which keeps a record of disciplinary findings made against Judicial Office
Holders. Those records are kept indefinitely, and any disciplinary sanctions taken
against Judicial Office Holders are published on the Judicial Conduct Investigations
Office website. A subsequent change of gender and/name by a Judicial Office Holder
would have no bearing on the retention of disciplinary records. Should a Judicial
Office Holder with a published disciplinary sanction against them subsequently change
their name, a note would be made to the published sanction which would identify this.</p></li></ol><ol
start="2"><li><p>In relation to prison officers, processes are available to support
the changing of an individual’s name and other characteristics within departmental
HR records. Regardless of an individual’s gender or name, disciplinary records are
retained in line with departmental document retention policies.</p></li></ol>
