answer text <p>The Department does not hold data relating to the staff service length prior to 2011. We are unable to provide data on courts staff prior to 2011 as HMCTS did not exist in its current form until after this date. Prior to this there were multiple business units that held their own people data. Our figures only show the length of service of staff since HMCTS was formed as our HR data does not include the service of staff from before that time.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The cumulative experience of all HMCTS staff between Bands A and F was 197,334.2 years in 2018. The earliest held comparable data is from 2012 and shows 165,045 years. This shows an increase of 32,289.2 over the period. The following table shows a breakdown by grade as requested. This shows an increase in cumulative experience at every grade.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Grade</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>March 2012 cumulative service</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>March 2018 cumulative service</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Differential</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A</p></td><td><p>6,052.9</p></td><td><p>6,582.2</p></td><td><p>529.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band B</p></td><td><p>19,479.0</p></td><td><p>22,006.6</p></td><td><p>2,527.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band C</p></td><td><p>9,963.1</p></td><td><p>11,424.7</p></td><td><p>1,461.6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band D</p></td><td><p>35,811.6</p></td><td><p>36,956.8</p></td><td><p>1,145.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band E</p></td><td><p>77,702.1</p></td><td><p>100,644.5</p></td><td><p>22,942.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band F</p></td><td><p>16,036.1</p></td><td><p>19,719.3</p></td><td><p>3,683.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>165,045.0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>197,334.2</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>32,289.2</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>We were unable to provide data from 2010 as HMCTS did not exist in its current form until 2011. Prior to this there were multiple business units that held their own people data, which is likely to impact upon the service length considerably as many staff would have worked in courts and tribunals for many years before this It should be noted that the data from 2012 is drawn from a different HR system than that from 2018 and as such is unlikely to be comparing like for like. As with any large data system, there are also likely to be some inaccuracies. Our data covers all staff who work operationally in HMCTS, not just court staff. We are unable to split the data further to include those only in courts.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The cumulative experience of all HMCTS staff was 197,800.2 years in 2018. The earliest held comparable data is from 2012 and shows 165,282.7 years. Variable case loads and the adoption of new technologies play a part in setting HMCTS workforce requirements and, as such, overall experience can be more accurately measured by the average length of service of our staff. This shows an increase in the average length of service from 11.2 in 2012 to 12.5 in 2018.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>As part of the Her Majesty’s Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS) Reform Programme, the Flexible Operating Hours (FOH) project was set up to look at options to maximise the use of our court rooms by using them at different times of the day, outside of the traditional hours of 10am – 4pm. On 16 November 2018, it was announced that HMCTS will be proceeding with two pilots in the Civil and Family Courts in Brentford County Court and Manchester Civil Justice Centre and a revised Pilots Prospectus was published. Local Implementation Teams in Brentford and Manchester will finalise the pilot designs and start dates, which are likely to be in Spring 2019.</p><p> </p><p>A key objective of the FOH pilots is to understand the impacts of FOH for all court users, including HMCTS staff. An Evaluation Advisory Group has been established to ensure a balanced and comprehensive assessment of pilot activity by independent assessors. Consultation with trade unions will take place under separate arrangements in recognition of the need to consider FOH in the context of wider organisational changes affecting HMCTS staff.</p><p> </p><p>In Manchester Civil Justice Centre, the total number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff is 205 with 29.5 FTE at Band A to D, 146 FTE at Band E and 29.5 FTE at Band F. In Brentford County Court, the total number of FTE staff is 15.5 with 1 FTE at Band C, 2 FTE at Band D, 11 FTE at Band E and 1.5 FTE at Band F. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 0.5. We are committed to ensuring that courts and tribunals have adequate staff to meet operational demands. Staffing requirements for the FOH pilots will be considered by the Local Implementation Teams.</p>

There have been numerous discussions under this framework in the past, as roles have changed and developed.</p><p> </p><p>HMCTS recently sought the views of staff, trades unions and the judiciary about a proposed new senior leadership structure for these roles, and will continue to use the mechanisms available as they develop.</p> more like this
