HMCTS Reform Online Event: Video Remand Hearings

HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is continuing to engage with practising legal professionals and professional court users about our £1bn courts and tribunals reform programme.

We are hosting a series of face-to-face and online events, organised by jurisdiction and topic. These events will enable participants to increase their knowledge and understanding, provide feedback, and ask questions about the progress and ambitions of the reform programme.

This event, which will also be of interest to the Crown Prosecution Service and representatives from the police, will provide an overview of Video Remand Hearings. This service aims to transform the way in which hearings for defendants held in custody could be administered in the future, by ultimately enabling suitable proceedings to move out of the physical courtroom and into a video space.

We will deliver the event online using interactive technology to enable participation without the need for travel.

This session, which will run for between 45-60 minutes, will include:

introduction
overview of the Video Remand Hearings project
outline of the vision for the project
demonstration of current plans
sharing our plans to extend engagement - vital to the successful delivery of this project
