Notification regarding the suspension of Legal Trainee recruitment - 29th September 2009

The decision has been taken to suspend the recruitment of Legal Trainees for 2009/10. The recruitment of Legal Trainees for 2010/11 will be subject to a further review next year
We'd like to take this opportunity to assure you that we fully appreciate the critical importance of bringing in new talent to the Crown Prosecution Service and are absolutely committed to developing our existing staff.
Our latest in-take of pupil barristers and trainee solicitors begin their training to become fully qualified prosecutors on the 1st October 2009, with work currently on-going to develop a sustainable alternative to the Legal Trainee Scheme as it currently stands.
We'll be in a position to publish an update here shortly.
