The Rape Review Action Plan commits the Criminal Justice System (CJS) to a conscious reversal in the trends of the last five years, more than doubling the number of adult rape cases reaching court by the end of this parliament.
At the heart of our approach is the belief that improvements to the systems will be made through greater transparency and accountability. That is why we committed to providing updates every six months on the progress we have made against the Action Plan, this report outlines the significant progress in delivering actions to change the system for the better.
While the majority of actions are on track and have been delivered in the timescales we intended, there is much work still to do to ensure that the actions are having the impact they need to.
The government has also published a quarterly performance scorecard on recorded adult rape offences which brings together data to increase public transparency and help identify performance issues so they can be addressed head-on. The scorecard can be found here: https://data.justice.gov.uk/cjs-scorecard-adult-rape.
