HM Courts & Tribunals Service is committed to ensuring access to courts and tribunals is maintained for staff and service users. We have a reasonable adjustments policy in place to accommodate those with particular access requirements. 31 of the 56 total court and tribunal buildings in the Greater London area were inaccessible to those with disabilities during the week commencing 8 April 2019. Those affected by the inaccessible buildings can be broken down as follows: Defendants – 26Witnesses – 7Members of the public – 7Court staff – 0 Of these, 2 of those buildings were temporarily inaccessible in that week because of broken lifts. 1 of those buildings was inaccessible for more than one week, and 1 for more than one month. Disabled access was typically not factored in when many of our court and tribunal buildings were built. However, we have a number of accessible courts that our criminal justice partners are aware of, and these are used to list cases where a defendant might have accessibility needs.
