Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government why they did not support Juror Appreciation Week in 2026.

The Government values the contribution of jurors throughout the year.

Since the ‘Juror Appreciation Week’ initiative was launched in 2024, the Government has supported awareness-raising across a range of channels, including social media, blogs and other digital content, which has seen strong public engagement with the materials we have shared.

In 2026, we supported Juror Appreciation Week through communications recognising the contribution of jurors and promoting information about jury service and the support available to jurors. This included a student myth-busting video, a social media poll, a podcast on jury service, juror information content and publication of the evaluation of the Enhanced Support for Jurors pilot.

More widely, the Government remains committed to recognising the important contribution made by jurors and continues to promote awareness of jury service and juror support through its wider communications and operational activity.
