To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the use of court co-ordinators in the criminal justice system.
Crispin Blunt
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) (Prisons and Probation)
Community Justice was piloted in 12 magistrates courts across England and Wales. The court co-ordinator was one aspect only piloted at the Salford Community Justice Initiative, which ceased sitting in 2008. Since then, learning from Salford and the other 12 courts has been used to introduce sustainable mechanisms to achieve similar objectives in other courts, without incurring the costs of appointing dedicated co-ordinators.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
