uin	224098
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2015 answer text <p>It is clear from the joint HMIC and HMCPSI report that there must be improvements in the way offences arising out of fatal road traffic incidents are investigated and prosecuted. It is therefore vital that police forces give due regard to the recommendations made in the report. However, it is rightly a matter for chief constables and Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to ascertain how best to respond to the recommendations locally. Under Section 55 (5) of the Police Act 1996, all PCCs have a statutory requirement to publish their response to joint inspection reports that relate to their force.</p><p> </p><p>The CPS must provide the best possible service to the bereaved families in these cases. Whilst many of the recommended improvements have been achieved through more general development of CPS casework and guidance, there is clearly more which needs to be done. In order to make the improvements necessary to the prosecution of offences arising out of fatal road traffic accidents, the CPS is taking or has committed to take the following steps:</p><p> </p><ul><li>The introduction of accredited specialist prosecutors in each of the CPS Areas to prosecute these cases.</li><li>New mandatory training on the prosecution of fatal road traffic incidents to include case analysis and strategy, and how the CPS communicates with bereaved families.</li><li>CPS Area Coordinators to ensure that these sensitive and difficult cases receive the specialist attention they deserve and attract good quality, consistent decision making.</li><li>Amending guidance to remind prosecutors of the circumstances in which it is appropriate to charge assaults that arise from driving a motor vehicle.</li><li>Amending guidance to add a reference to the Criminal Practice Direction on acceptance of pleas in its Guidance on Charging Driving Offences.</li><li>A review of the flagging process of these cases to increase the accuracy of figures.</li><li>Consideration of better CPS Area access to appeals unit case reviews.</li><li>Consideration of existing protocols with police forces with the intention of drafting a model protocol for CPS Areas to agree with local forces.</li></ul> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 23/02/2015 12:58:30 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

question text	To ask the Attorney General, if the Crown Prosecution Service will take steps to ensure that all assaults against prison officers are prosecuted.
tabling member constituency	Wycombe

uin	906112
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2014 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is committed to ensuring that assaults against prison officers are dealt with robustly. The CPS considers each case on its own facts and in accordance with the two stage test set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.The Code outlines that a prosecution is more likely to be in the public interest if the offence was committed against a person serving the public. Furthermore, the specific CPS Legal Guidance on Prison Offences outlines that, if the victim is a prison officer performing his/her duty, the public interest is heavily in favour of prosecution.</p><p>In addition to this, the new joint protocol produced by the Prison Service, CPS and Association of Chief Police Officers will set out that when there are serious assaults on prison staff, the perpetrators will be prosecuted unless there is a good reason why not.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 18/11/2014 15:30:03 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
