The criminal justice system needs a resilient supply of advocates \u2013 both prosecution and defence \u2013 and the Crown Prosecution Service (\u201cCPS\u201d) recognises that this is currently proving challenging, particularly in rape cases. Addressing this shortfall is a priority for the CPS.<\/p><p>The CPS Advocate Panel is a time-limited quality-assured list of external junior advocates \u2013 self-employed barristers and solicitor agents \u2013 who undertake criminal prosecution advocacy for the CPS.<\/p><p>There are currently around 770 advocates on the CPS\u2019 specialist Advocate Panel for Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (the \u201cRASSO Panel\u201d). Whilst there has been a decline in numbers over the past five years, there has been a notable increase of just under 100 RASSO Panel advocates during the last 12 months.<\/p><p>Notwithstanding this increase, with RASSO caseloads at record levels, further action is needed to drive up numbers to provide sufficient counsel. The CPS has taken steps to do so, which have included revising the entry requirements for the RASSO Panel, moving away from a written application for experienced advocates but still requiring them to have completed CPS-accredited RASSO training (or commit to do so within 3 months). A further change to support the progression of advocates into RASSO work and improving the pipeline will be announced later this month.<\/p><p>The CPS is also working with the Bar to improve the provision of RASSO training, to support wellbeing, and to promote the fact that \u2013 notwithstanding the challenges \u2013 RASSO work can be hugely fulfilling and support career progression.<\/p>"}
