We are now exploring what the future of the service should look like. Evidence from the current service indicates that users of our current Digital Support Service, often face additional barriers and therefore may have multiple support needs. This can include help with understanding the process and communicating their case effectively. The purpose of this event is to collect feedback on what the type of support provided for the new service could be and assess interest in the high-level proposals. We want to hear organisations who: - have experience support user with multiple needs - support Court and Tribunals service users - have knowledge in the digital inclusion sector ### Event details HMCTS invites interested organisations to attend a virtual market engagement event on Tuesday 12th November 2024 which will be delivered via Teams and take place between 13:00 - 16:00.
