Jury duty is our civic duty in Canada and the United Kingdom. We have a duty to thank and support jurors after their service.
The Canadian Juries Commission is proud to support the first #jurydutyappreciationweek in England & Wales! #thankyoujurors #thankajuror #MentalHealthWeek
Today is the first day of Jury Duty Appreciation Week✨
Jurors can experience sleepless nights, flashbacks, and anxiety after serving on traumatic trials. But there is little support available to them.
This Week, led by @h_fawcett & @mtrbrooks @ManMetUni, calls for change 📢
Thank you to @BPSOfficial for their support with this important campaign for better wellbeing support for jurors.
