Public
Detailed information about the Ministry of Justice’s role is in the about us section, and our main policy responsibilities are outlined in the what we do pages.
Non-departmental public bodies and agencies (for example, Her Majesty’s Courts Service) form part of the wider Ministry of Justice organisation and provide most public services on our behalf. The pages on our agencies and organisations give further information on these bodies.
Latest developments are covered under news, including our formal announcements, statements to Parliament and ministerial speeches.
Our publications section contains reports and reviews on a range of policy issues and government responses to parliamentary committee reports. At consultations, you can read and comment on our proposals to create new policies or reform existing ones.
The jobs section has information on what it is like to work in the justice system and details of current vacancies.
If you cannot find what you are after, try using our search facility or go to Directgov, which provides the public with easy access to a variety of government information and services such as:
- support for victims of crime
- what happens if you have to go to court as a witness or to solve a family problem
- what to do about debt and disputes over money
- how to visit and contact people in prisons.
