Details

These reports present our findings from pilots of the redesigned single justice procedure notice.

We redesigned the template using behavioural insight techniques and stakeholder feedback. We ran pilots with two prosecutors, the Metropolitan Police and TV Licencing in the Midlands region, between December 2019 and February 2020. We monitored and assessed the outcomes associated with prosecutors adopting the redesigned notice.

We found that online plea rates increased following the introduction of the new notice and form completion improved. Based on the findings and recommendations we agreed to rollout the revised notice to all prosecutors who use the single justice procedure.
