The Judicial College has published its annual prospectus setting out the training programme available to all judicial office holders for 2026 to 2027, including brief descriptions of each course and the intended learning outcomes.
In addition to the prospectus the College has published a summary of judicial education in domestic abuse. The summary sets out how judges and magistrates in the family and criminal courts are trained to handle cases of domestic abuse.
Lady Justice Eleanor King, Chair of the Judicial College, said:
“Cases involving domestic abuse demand high levels of judicial skill, sensitivity and care.For the first time, the College is setting out how issues of domestic abuse are embedded across the training programme for all magistrates and judges in the family and criminal courts. This includes understanding the dynamics of coercion and control, identifying the impact of bias and recognising the effects of trauma. Training equips judicial office holders to ensure safe participation for all parties and a fair process and just outcome in each case.”
