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>

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.

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> 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> 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.

We are committed to ensuring that courts and tribunals have adequate staff to meet operational demands.
