I concur, by authority of the Lord Chancellor
These Rules amend the Justices of the Peace (Training and Development Committee) Rules 2007 (S.I. 2007/1609) to abolish the Inner London Youth Training and Development Committee and to provide that functions in relation to youth courts in the Inner London area that were previously carried out by the Inner London Youth Training and Development Committee will now be carried out by a Bench Training and Development Committee, as is the case elsewhere in England and Wales.
These Rules provide that a youth justice, who immediately prior to the coming into force of these Rules sat on the Inner London Youth Panel and only sat in youth courts, can join the list of approved youth court chairs.
These Rules amend the date on which a Magistrates’ Area Training Committee is required to submit its annual training report to the Lord Chief Justice and replace references to ‘Area Directors’ with ‘Delivery Directors’ to reflect the change of title of Area Director in Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service to Delivery Director.
