During this period the CPS has undertaken continuous improvement and modernisation programmes to improve efficiency and effectiveness. These included digitalisation, development of a national resourcing model, standard operating practices, resource efficiency measures, smarter/remote working practices, and establishment of remote teams. As a national service for England and Wales, the consequence of these measures is that we now have the ability to shift work to where capacity resides which is both much more efficient, and also fairer on the workforce. <table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year Q1</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Full Time Equivalent Staff</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012-13</strong></p></td><td><p>7093</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p>6568</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p>6034</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p>5708</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p>5505</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017-18</strong></p></td><td><p>5594</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2018-19</strong></p></td><td><p>5554</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2019-20</strong></p></td><td><p>5589</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2020-21</strong></p></td><td><p>5790</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2021-22</strong></p></td><td><p>6414</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2022-23</strong></p></td><td><p>6714</p></td></tr></tbody></table><em>*The system reports data as at the last day of the month rather than the first or any date in-between therefore the table is presented to the nearest reportable date to the questions asked.</em> <em> </em> <em>The data has been extracted from the CPS Oracle HR database and is accurate at point of enquiry on 5 September 2022.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>The CPS takes the prosecution of forced marriage seriously. Each CPS Area has a lead prosecutor on forced marriage who works closely with the police and other prosecutors. The CPS’s legal guidance on forced marriage assists prosecutors and is reviewed regularly. For example, it was revised last year to address cases where the victim lacks capacity to consent to marriage. Since April 2019, the joint police and CPS forced marriage working group has developed training for prosecutors and agreed a protocol for the investigation and prosecution of forced marriage. The CPS is also working with stakeholders to identify and address the obstacles to the prosecution of forced marriage.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 20/01/2020 17:14:12 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
