<p>There has been unprecedented joint commitment and focus from the police and the
CPS to finding solutions to the problem of getting the provision of material evidence
and disclosure right. Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Inspectorate (HMCPSI) recently
published a report on disclosure in the Crown Court, which shows that CPS and the
police have made improvements in almost all areas. However, as the report notes, these
improvements are from a low baseline and it is therefore crucial that lasting improvements
continue to be made. I am working to update my Guidelines on Disclosure in order to
provide clear guidance to all practitioners, and embed the recommendations I made
in my 2018 Review.</p>
