The Ministry of Justice is to undertake an overarching evaluation of the Reform programme to understand the effect of reform on access to justice. This will include surveys of court users across criminal, civil, family, and tribunal jurisdictions. An interim report is expected in Summer 2021.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information on the overarching evaluation was published in the Ministry of Justice response to the Public Accounts Committee's fourth recommendation in its report Transforming courts and tribunals, in February 2019: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/moj-response-to-public-accounts-committee-transforming-courts-and-tribunals<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In July 2019, the Ministry published further information on the progress of the evaluation, including details of the advisory panel that has been established for the evaluation: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/response-to-public-accounts-committee-transforming-courts-and-tribunals<\/a><\/p>"}
