Executive Summary
It is important that Criminal Justice Agencies gather and review victim feedback. Not only does this help ensure that victims' voices are heard, but it can also help Criminal Justice Agencies (CJAs) to monitor performance, evaluate new initiatives, and meet upcoming organisational and legislative requirements – such as those included in the Victim and Prisoners Bill (MoJ, 2023), and the CPS’s Victim Transformation Programme (VTP).
This protocol, between the judiciary, local authorities, police representatives, the National Police Chiefs’ Council and Crown Prosecution Service, applies to the exchange of information and material between criminal and family agencies and jurisdictions. It relates to all private and public family law proceedings, including contemplated public law proceedings, and all material held by the police.
Introduction: Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) places a high importance on the security of our information systems and has published this Vulnerability Disclosure Policy to facilitate the reporting of vulnerabilities in CPS IT systems.
