These responsibilities are exercised through the Judicial College. The judiciary with support of the professional staff, in the Judicial College are responsible for the design, content, and delivery of judicial training.
I understand that, since April 2021, the Chair of the Judicial College, in consultation with the President of the Family Division, has led work to review judicial training on domestic abuse.
