Company Profile

The Ministry of Justice is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system. We work to protect and advance the principles of justice. Our vision is to deliver a world-class justice system that works for everyone in society.

Responsibilities

We are responsible for these parts of the justice system:

- Courts
- Prisons
- Probation services
- Attendance centres

The organisation works together and with other government departments and agencies to bring the principles of justice to life for everyone in society. From our civil courts, tribunals and family law hearings, to criminal justice, prison and probation services.

We believe the principles of justice are pivotal and we are steadfast in our shared commitment to uphold them.
