We are an independent office which supports the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in considering complaints about the personal conduct of judicial office holders.
Covid 19 Virus (aka Coronavirus)
Most of the staff of the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office are working remotely until further notice. A small number of staff are attending the office on a limited basis. This means that there may be delays in dealing with postal complaints. Staff who are present in the office will answer telephone calls. However, we cannot guarantee that calls will be answered as there will continue to be days and times when the office is unmanned. If your call is not answered and you need to speak to somebody urgently, please request a call-back by emailing: general.enquiries@judicialconduct.gov.uk. A member of the team will telephone you as soon as possible.
Enquiries sent via email to general.enquiries@judicialconduct.gov.uk will receive a response. Please note that this email address is for enquiries only. We cannot respond to complaints submitted by email
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
