A key principle of judicial training is that it should include the social context within which judges and magistrates operate, such as awareness of diversity issues. Additionally, the Judicial College, which oversees the delivery of judicial training on behalf of the Lord Chief Justice, maintains an Equal Treatment Bench Book to assist judicial office holders to deal fairly with those who appear before them.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2016 answer text <p>The State Pension age is changing as outlined in the timetable here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/310231/spa-timetable.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/310231/spa-timetable.pdf</a></p><br /><p>For those not moving from a working age benefit to State Pension, the current State Pension is paid only in full benefit weeks. This does mean that depending on the individual’s payday, as determined by their National Insurance number, payment may not begin from the day they reach their State Pension age.</p><br /><p>New rules will apply in the new State Pension scheme from 6 April 2016. Individuals who reach State Pension age on or after that date will be paid their new State Pension from the date they reach their State Pension age. Payments will be made in arrears on a payday based on the individual’s National Insurance number. This means that in most cases the first payment may be in respect of a part of a week – that is from the day the individual reaches State Pension age to their first normal payday.</p><br /> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 20/01/2016 15:54:01 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
