<p>I am committed to ensuring rape and sexual assault cases are conducted effectively
– in fact, I recently successfully referred a point of law to the Court of Appeal
to ensure that the law is clear in cases of sexual assault.</p><p>I have also engaged
closely on CPS rape work, including meeting with CPS South East in December 2020 to
discuss how their RASSO unit approaches these complex cases. The CPS and police also
published their Joint National Action Plan on rape in January 2021 which shows their
commitment to improvement.</p><p> </p>
