His Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) has today (10 November 2022) issued a report following its inspection of CPS Thames and Chiltern.
Gwnaethom 32 o ymrwymiadau yn y JNAP. Rydym wedi cwblhau 24 ac mae wyth ar y gweill. Wrth i ni ddatblygu'r Cydgynllun Gweithredu Cenedlaethol diwygiedig hwn, rydym wedi cynnal sesiynau gan ddefnyddio'r model damcaniaeth newid i ystyried lle y gallwn fynd ymhellach, gan adeiladu ar yr hyn yr ydym wedi'i gyflawni hyd yma. Byddwn yn datblygu'r JNAP drwy 20 cam gweithredu (gan gynnwys y camau gweithredu sydd ar y gweill) a amlinellir yn y brif ddogfen strategaeth.
Mae trais rhywiol yn drosedd wirioneddol ddinistriol sy'n newid bywyd. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i gynyddu nifer yr achosion sy’n mynd i’r llys yn sylweddol a chynnal hynny o flwyddyn i flwyddyn. Rydym yn benderfynol o weld cyfiawnder i fwy o ddioddefwyr trais rhywiol a throseddau rhywiol difrifol, ac fel arweinwyr rydym yn addo bod yn weladwy, yn atebol ac yn dryloyw wrth i ni weithio tuag at y nod hwn.
We made 32 commitments in the JNAP. We have completed 24 and eight are in progress. As we have developed this refreshed Joint National Action Plan, we have held sessions using the theory of change model to consider where we can go further, building on what we’ve delivered to date. We will be taking forward the JNAP through 20 actions (including the in-progress actions) outlined in the main strategy document.
Rape is a truly devastating and life changing crime. We are committed to significantly increasing the number of cases going to court and sustaining this year on year. We are determined to see justice for more victims of rape and serious sexual offences, and as leaders we pledge to be visible, accountable and transparent as we work towards this aim.
