The Prosecutors' Pledge

21 October 2005

From today, the Attorney General is introducing a ten point Pledge that describes the level of service that victims can expect to receive from prosecutors. Prosecutors play a key role in protecting victims' interests, in particular when accepting pleas and during sentencing. The Pledge is a further step towards the objective of placing victims at the heart of the criminal justice system and is applicable to all prosecuting authorities, including advocates instructed by the prosecuting authorities in the Crown Court.

The Prosecutors' Pledge is available on this website in the Publications section.
