Author: Great Britain. Home Office Title: Transforming the Criminal Justice System. Strategy and Action Plan - Implementation Update Summary: In June 2013 we published Transforming the CJS: A Strategy and Action Plan for the Criminal Justice System. It set out a vision for a modern criminal justice system (CJS) that provides a swift and determined response to crime, treats victims and witnesses with care and consideration, and provides much better value for money to the taxpayer. We have made good progress delivering this vision. Victims have a louder voice with clearer and broader entitlements, digital working by CJS staff is increasing, and the CJS is more transparent than ever, with more information available to the public and television broadcasting available from some courts. This updated version of the plan builds on these achievements and sets out what we will do to complete this transformation. The Criminal Justice Board ("the Board"), chaired by the Criminal Justice Minister, sets priorities and provides leadership for the CJS. The Board comprises the chief executives of the criminal justice agencies and senior leaders from across the system. The Board has three main priorities in 2014/15. To create a criminal justice system that cares for, and considers the needs of victims and witnesses we will: - make the Victims' Code and Witness Charter part of normal business for everyone in the CJS; - provide a more joined-up response for victims and witnesses from criminal justice system partners; - improve the services provided to support victims and witnesses; - support victims and witnesses in the criminal justice system; and - make fair and respectful treatment for victims and witnesses the norm.
