<p>Protecting women and girls from violence and supporting victims and survivors of
sexual violence is a key priority for this Government, and we expect cases to be dealt
with sensitively and effectively. In June 2021, we published the End-to-End Rape Review
Report and Action Plan which outlined a robust programme of work that aims to achieve
a significant improvement in the way the criminal justice system responds to rape
and sexual offences against adults.</p><p>As set out in the Rape Review, our ambition
is to more than double the volume of adult rape cases reaching court over the Parliament,
and we are using the Criminal Justice System (CJS) Delivery Dashboards to monitor
progress towards this ambition.</p><p>There are no set targets for the police on timeliness.
The published crime outcomes data shows that for all sexual offences the median days
for a charge outcome to be assigned in 21/22 was 261 days, down from 268 days in 20/21.
For all rape, the median days for a charge outcome to be assigned in 21/22 was 467
days compared to 465 days in 20/21.</p>
