Partnership Working

CPS South Yorkshire works closely with its partners in the criminal justice system to reduce crime, increase justice, respond better to the needs of victims and witnesses and to punish and rehabilitate more offenders.

Much of this work is done through the South Yorkshire Criminal Justice Board (SYCJB), which was set up in 2003. Chief Officers of South Yorkshire Police, CPS South Yorkshire, Her Majestys Court Service, Probation service, Prison Service and Youth Offending Teams all sit on the board.

CPS has played an active role in working together with criminal justice system colleagues on initiatives such as charging, no witness no justice, effective trial management programme and the victims code of practice.
