Communicourt has joined the RCI Group, a family of values-driven independent businesses who work with people at a vulnerable point in their lives.

This investment recognises the hard work that Communicourt has done over the past 10 years to establish the organisation as a market leader in supporting vulnerable people in the criminal and family courts.

There are currently three other organisations in the RCI Group: Mountain Healthcare, Benchmark Management Consulting, and Venture-People.

All of these organisations operate independently, but are bound by the Group’s values:

• Respect, for their colleagues and the people in their care

• Courage, to do the right thing

• Innovation, in their services and markets

The RCI Group companies are genuinely committed to building strong relationships. Like Communicourt, they care passionately about the outcomes they provide to the vulnerable people in their care.

Communicourt Managing Director, William Scrimshire said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to continue to grow our service and deliver wider access to justice for vulnerable people with additional communication needs.

The Justice system is facing great challenges in the wake of Covid-19, and we continue to see an increased demand for a high-quality intermediary service to the criminal and family court.

The RCI Group brings further expertise and experience of delivering excellent services for vulnerable groups in a variety of sectors. We are excited about working together to deliver an excellent intermediary service across England and Wales.”
