Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to page 33 of the policy paper entitled Plan for Change: Milestones for mission-led government, published on 5 December 2024, CP1210, how she plans to measure success in building confidence in the criminal justice system; and whether she plans to regularly (a) collect and (b) publish victim satisfaction data.

We are still developing this pillar of the mission and will say more in due course.

We regularly publish victim engagement data for the criminal justice system in the Criminal Justice System Delivery Data Dashboard. These metrics cover the percentage of investigations closed because the victim does not support police action, cases stopped after a defendant has been charged because a victim no longer supports the prosecution, and cases in which the victim or witness no longer supports prosecution on the day of trial.
