<p>Over the past three years, the number of complaints recorded about courts in England
and Wales not having separate entrances and waiting areas for witnesses and victims
is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number
recorded</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>
</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Our Victims Strategy, published
last year, commits to improving court environments with new victim-friendly waiting
areas and an emphasis on accessibility for the most vulnerable.</p>
