PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Administration of Justice: Autism (10 October 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to Answer of 22 September to Question 49643, if HM Courts & Tribunals Service do not record the number of people with autism who have requested a reasonable adjustment in relation to their autism or otherwise have told the agency that they have autism, what steps he is taking to assess the adequacy of the reasonable adjustments made.

Asked by:
Esther McVey (Conservative)

HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) considers each reasonable adjustment request it receives on an individual needs basis. The adequacy of each reasonable adjustment will therefore be tailored to these individual needs and are not subject to a standardised assessment.
