CPS responses to HMCPSIGender Pay Gap (GPG) legislation introduced in 2017 requires all employers with 250 employees or more to report annually on their gender pay gap. Government departments are covered by the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017 which underpin the Public Sector Equality Duty and requires the relevant organisations to publish their gender pay gap data by 30 March annually.
CPS operational informationHate crimes often have a disproportionate impact on the victim because they are being targeted for a personal characteristic. We recognise that hate crime not only impacts the individual victim but also the wider community. Hate incidents as one-offs or a related series of events can send reverberations through communities, just as they can reinforce established patterns of prejudice and discrimination. This is why it is so important for hate crime to be prosecuted effectively.

Policy and GuidanceThe Criminal Justice Joint Inspection (CJJI) has today, Friday 25 February 2022, published a report on how well the criminal justice system serves survivors of rape. Today’s publication is the second part of a two-part inspection which considered what the barriers are to the progression of rape reports in the criminal justice system following charge.
CPS responses to HMCPSIRape is a truly devastating and life-changing crime. Victims of this most invasive abuse can suffer lasting trauma, and too often their experience of the criminal justice system adds to their suffering. I am determined to change that.
Policy and strategyThis table provides an overview of work we have delivered and work underway against each of the CPS themes. Of the 26 actions we committed to in RASSO 2025 for 2020/21, we have completed 17. On each of the remaining actions, work is underway and progress has been made against each. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has meant we have all had to adapt to unprecedented circumstances. We have adapted our delivery of certain actions, focusing on the same outcome, against the context of the pandemic.
