<table><tbody><tr><td><p>Tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) remains
one of this government’s top priorities. The CPS has already undertaken significant
work on rape and domestic abuse (DA) designed to improve the investigation and prosecution
of these offences. Last month the new national operating model for adult rape was
launched, which focuses on building stronger cases at an earlier stage, through joint
working with police. Increases in specialist RASSO workforce will further support
the prosecution of these crimes. A new VAWG strategy for 2023-2025 is being developed
for publication later this year. This will create a framework to address the challenges
of these crimes across the criminal justice system. Since our significant investment
in improving the handling of rape cases, not least through the Joint National Action
Plan (JNAP), the national operating model and the publication of the Rape Review in
2021, more cases are getting to court.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
