CPS operational information, Performance management and case outcomesHis Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) has today issued a report following its inspection of early advice and pre-charge decision-making in adult rape cases, which took place after the implementation of the CPS National Operating Model for adult rape prosecution. The CPS fully accepts all of the recommendations; the report clearly highlights areas at the pre-charge stage where we must do better and will inform our ongoing efforts to improve the prosecution of rape and serious sexual offences. We are taking immediate action to address concerns and will work openly and transparently with our partners in policing and the voluntary sector to ensure we deliver on these commitments.

CPS Board meetingsHis Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) and His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) have today issued a report following a joint inspection of the building of prosecution cases by the police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The CPS and National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) note the contents of the report and recognise the issues raised as indicative of the time the fieldwork was undertaken in 2022-2023. In the intervening period, however, the CPS and police have made positive progress, and substantial improvements have been made to the case building process.
CPS responses to HMCPSIEconomic crime continues to pose a serious and evolving threat, and tackling it remains a priority for the CPS. Building upon the foundations established in our two-year progress report (2023), this final progress report marks the culmination of the CPS Economic Crime Strategy 2025. Together they highlight the progress we have made in tackling economic crime, supporting victims, and recovering criminal assets.
