Bristol Crown Court this week welcomed a visit from Alex Davies-Jones, the Minister for Victims & Violence Against Women and Girls. She toured the facilities and spoke to court staff to find out more about the vital work they do every day.
The Minister also discussed the Resident Judge’s initiative to expedite Rape and Serious Sexual Offence (RASSO) cases which aims to improve access to justice and support complainants through a more efficient legal process.
