The Group recommends that Commonwealth countries should be encouraged to follow the model recommended within the report and follow the steps and adopt the measures listed in order to achieve an effective training strategy supported by relevant educational material and good practice. 14. The Commonwealth Secretariat should take a lead on cybercrime and electronic evidence training of criminal justice actors by (a) maintaining up-to-date information (in conjunction with other international organisations) about existing training products that may be available to Commonwealth countries from third party, national and international organisations; (b) making use of the Commonwealth Connects platform to maintain a database of existing regional and international training courses and centres and available materials that can be accessed or distributed in response to requests from national governments, judicial or law enforcement bodies; (c) maintaining similarly a database of trainers and training providers that are qualified and able to support training activities for criminal justice actors in Commonwealth countries; and (d) working with training course providers, including those experienced in training the judiciary in the Commonwealth, such as the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges Association, in order to create and develop course materials and training of trainers courses in fields not covered by existing national, regional or international training courses especially where gaps have been identified and where further capacity building is required. 15. Training institutes should consider involving academic and private sector experts in the design of their programmes and the development of training material. 48
