What does, the Minimum Provision of Training agreed between the JSB and HMCS in respect of magistrate training, mean?
This forms part of the Protocol (Memorandum of Understanding) that the JSB and HMCS agree, on an annual basis, for the provision of national training for magistrates. This agreement is intended to ensure that appropriate provision for all magistrates’ training, to support them in their judicial function, will continue. The agreement is sent out to MATC Chairmen and Justices’ Clerks annually so that this is taken into account when annual Area magistrate training plans are being prepared for the next financial year.
