DTS
The Digital and Technology Services (DTS) designs, builds and runs the digital services of HMCTS. These services are used by people at vulnerable times. It’s important work, and it’s not easy.
Our responsibilities include supporting, managing and developing digital services, making sure they are legislatively compliant and fit-for purpose. We work closely with operational teams, MoJ Justice Digital and external supplies to support the business, keeping the needs of the users at heart.
Our mission is to enable swift access to justice through our digital services. We aim to foster an environment that empowers colleagues, encourages accountability, welcomes measured risks and values the ability to say no when needed.
“DTS is responsible for all the applications and all the digital technology across all courts in England and Wales and across the Tribunals system in England, Wales and Scotland. We are at the forefront of maintaining justice across the UK. This is an exciting time to join DTS”
John Laverick, HMCTS CDIO
