Delivering an efficient and effective justice system: Crown Prosecution Service Roundtable
11am – 12.30pm4 November 2024
techUK, 10 St Bride Street, London, EC4A4AD
This roundtable will be the first in a two-part series of sessions. Those that attend this roundtable will be invited to complete a form following the session. Completed forms will be sent directly to CPS who, from these responses, will invite selected suppliers to take part in an 'Innovation Den'/ showcase scheduled for 5 December 2024.
Reducing delays across the justice system is part of the government safer streets mission. How CPS are able to effectively allocate cases, assign resources to court, and track the effort involved in prosecuting a case are all key capabilities to enable CPS to be efficient and effective and have the right data to optimise this.
High quality casework is at the core of CPS’ objectives and advocacy in the court room a key moment in a case. This role is often fulfilled by external counsel with over thousands of advocates currently registered. Being able to work effectively to engage them, check they meet CPS criteria, and share briefs with them is critical.
Join us for this interactive roundtable discussion with representatives from across the CPS including:
Matthew Cain, Chief Digital Information Officer
Gemma Hyde, Deputy Director of Digital Delivery
Anthony Hull, Head of Product Management.
Please note, we are restricting in person attendance to one representative per company.
You will be presented a set of challenge statements with an opportunity to provide guidance and feedback directly. Areas include:
Optimising how CPS allocate cases, assign resources to court, and track the effort involved in prosecuting a case. The process is largely manual currently.
The role of digital, data and technology in CPS’ delivery of fair and effective prosecutions. Areas include, identifying bias in cases and optimising areas such as disclosure and redaction.
Where, for example, there are shared challenges with law firms or similar industries, CPS welcome insights from techUK members into tools that may be transferable to CPS with this mindset.
Over arching capabilities for a wider discussion include:
Case tracking and updates
Streamlined workflows and automation to reduce manual tasks
Intuitive design that supports ease of use
Ability to measure performance and use
Integration with existing tools and systems
Protection of sensitive data, including role-based access
More information and an agenda will be provided shortly.
