HM Courts & Tribunals Service will make reasonable adjustments to ensure access to information and services for customers with disabilities.

Customers are advised to contact courts if a reasonable adjustment is required. However, we are looking further at the alternative arrangements in place at courts with no hearing systems to identify whether any improvements in provision would be helpful.
