WALES/ENGLAND – The Family Justice Modernisation Programme: Implementation Update Number Two

From Mr Justice Ryder, Judge in Charge of the Modernisation of Family Justice

 

Mr. Justice Ryder was appointed by the Lord Chief Justice in November 2011 as the Judge in charge of the Modernisation of Family Justice and tasked with the presentation of a report from the judicial perspective by the end of July 2012. It has been agreed that Ryder J will continue to lead the modernisation programme until Easter 2013.

The President has established a board (the President’s Implementation Board) to act as the judiciary’s programme board for the implementation of the family modernisation programme. It is chaired by the President and its membership is drawn from leadership judges and officials from the Judicial Office and HMCTS. MoJ, DfE, Cafcass and the Association of Directors of Children’s Services attend as observers.
