About DCA After a thousand years as
our second subject the Lord Chancellor hung up his robes for good when
responsibility for maintaining judicial independence transferred in full to
the brand new Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA). The new
department is responsible for driving forward the government's agenda for
reforming the criminal justice system.
The Approach Following the Prime
Minister's announcement of far-reaching reform for the judiciary, AMTEC
supported a number of complex programmes across the newly created Department
for Constitutional Affairs.
AMTEC provided programme management expertise to support the creation of a
Supreme Court to replace the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords; the
creation of an independent Judicial Appointments Commission; the
implementation of policy on the future of Queen's Council; and devolved
administration for Scotland and Wales.
Our team supported similar far-reaching changes at the Public
Guardianship Office and related agencies within the DCA. The programme
outsourced the management of some £1billion pounds of funds from government
coffers to private sector fund managers under new investment
arrangements.
Inherent in the programme were changes to primary legislation
dating back to the 1720 South Sea Bubble, the first great stock market crash
in England, which nearly bankrupted the courts.
Elsewhere in the department, AMTEC is helping the Court Funds
Office to define new business processes as part of a radical transformation
programme, and supporting similar changes as part of the Courts and
Tribunals Modernisation Programme.
