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. 

You will be presented a set of challenge statements with an opportunity to provide guidance and feedback directly. Areas include: 

  • Optimising how CPS perform case allocation and deliver court rotas. 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. Identify potentially harmful trends across cases and use digital tools (such as Artificial Intelligence) to support prosecutors in managing potential bias in evidence, and their own reviews.   

  • 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.
