Paragraph: 43
Magisterial training requires focus on remand principles and alternatives to custody
Conclusion
Magistrates are responsible for hearing the majority of cases that lead to remanding to custody, and we heard that, particularly during the pandemic, the focus of training was on new ways of working and the use of technology. The application of the remand principles and the latest available alternatives to remand should be a focus in magisterial training.
