But our systems and processes have not kept pace with the world around us. We know we can make justice less confusing, easier to navigate and better at responding to the needs of the public.<\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with the senior judiciary and the Ministry of Justice, we are investing \u00a31bn to reform our courts and tribunals system. We have made a good start. But we can\u2019t do it alone; and we certainly can\u2019t do it well unless we involve all those who work within it and care about it.<\/p>\n<p>We are keen to share our plans, listen to those who use our courts and tribunals, and work together with our partners to achieve the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Further detail can be found in our <span id=\"attachment_3039329\" class=\"attachment-inline\"><br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/744912\/HMCTS_Reform_Update_2_Oct_2018.pdf\">HMCTS reform update <\/a><br \/>\n  (<span class=\"type\"><abbr title=\"Portable Document Format\">PDF<\/abbr><\/span>, <span class=\"file-size\">1.61MB<\/span>, <span class=\"page-length\">28 pages<\/span>)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reform-projects\">Reform projects<\/h2>\n<p>There are over 50 projects included in the reform programme &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/hmcts-reform-programme-projects-explained\">see the descriptions of each project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"news-and-announcements\">News and announcements<\/h2>\n<p>We will publish our latest news and announcements on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/hm-courts-and-tribunals-service\">GOV.UK homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"newsletter\">Newsletter<\/h2>\n<p>We will issue a monthly external email newsletter on our reform progress.
