This report on magistrates\u2019 training is an internal document and is provided for judicial monitoring purposes only. I am therefore unable to comply with your request.<\/p>

The Judicial College delivers a programme of core courses and prepares training packs for magistrates which are delivered under the direction of Magistrates\u2019 Area Training Committees (MATCs). The College has a statutory responsibility to prepare the National Summary of MATC Annual Reports for the Lord Chief Justice, as Head of the Judiciary, and its purpose is to satisfy him that magistrates\u2019 training is being appropriately addressed. The most recent report (for 2012/13) shows the intended learning was delivered and that magistrates felt it met their needs. The Judicial College publishes a report on the training it delivers to the judiciary - http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/publications/review-of-activities-2012-2013/ -<\/p>
and magistrates\u2019 training is also covered in the Lord Chief Justice\u2019s Annual Report 2013<\/p>

Personal budget awards can pay for items such as training, tools and equipment. After 18 months is complete, specialist support will continue to be available, usually from the same specialist employment advisor.<\/p> Former employees have also been referred to Community Support Fund projects where, in areas affected by factory closures, local organisations support former Remploy workers to move into employment and take part in social activities.<\/p> Latest figures show that 1,506 disabled former Remploy workers are choosing to work with our personal case workers to find another job and 774 are in work. 259 disabled former Remploy employees have been supported by the Access to Work scheme since they left the factories.<\/p>"}
