Page 4 - Reforming Benefits Decision-Making -(updated - August 2021)

The Administrative Justice Council is the only body with oversight of the whole of
the administrative justice system in the UK, advising government, including the
devolved governments, and the judiciary on the development of that system. The
AJC has the following aims:

• to keep the operation of the administrative justice system under review;

• to consider how to make the administrative justice system more accessible,
fair and efficient;

• to advise the Lord Chancellor, other relevant ministers and the judiciary on
the development of the administrative justice system;

• to share learning and areas of good practice across the UK;

• to provide a forum for the exchange of information between Government, the
judiciary, and those working with users of the administrative justice system;

• to identify areas of the administrative justice system that would benefit from
research; and

• to make practical proposals for reform.
