Request reasonable adjustments

If you have a disability or physical or mental health condition, courts can make reasonable adjustments to help you when serving on a jury.

Adjustments can include:

  • ramps

  • access to accessible toilets

  • a hearing loop

  • guidance in alternative formats, such as large print, audio or braille

  • a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter

Request the help you’ll need when you reply to your jury summons.

If you’d like to discuss your needs or arrange a visit to the court, you can contact the Jury Central Summoning Bureau up to a week before your jury service begins.
