About us

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutes criminal cases that have been investigated by the police and other investigative organisations in England and Wales. The CPS is independent, and we make our decisions independently of the police and government. Our duty is to make sure that the right person is prosecuted for the right offence, and to bring offenders to justice wherever possible. The CPS: - Decides which cases should be prosecuted; - Determines the appropriate charges in more serious or complex cases, and advises the police during the early stages of investigations; - Prepares cases and presents them at court; and - Provides information, assistance and support to victims and prosecution witnesses. Prosecutors must be fair, objective and independent. When deciding whether to prosecute a criminal case, our lawyers must follow the Code for Crown Prosecutors. This means that to charge someone with a criminal offence, prosecutors must be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction, and that prosecuting is in the public interest. The CPS works closely with the police, courts, the Judiciary and other partners to deliver justice.

    I had the incredible opportunity to complete a mini pupillage with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) last week, and I’m so grateful for the experience. From observing trials at both the Crown Court and Magistrates’ Court, to witnessing first-hand the day-to-day work of barristers, this experience has given me a deeper insight into the role of the CPS and the justice system as a whole. I sat in on a wide range of cases including theft, manslaughter, assault, stalking and domestic violence, each one highlighting the crucial and challenging work barristers do every single day. I was lucky enough to share the experience with Yaa Nkansah, which made the week even more enjoyable and memorable. A huge thank you to the CPS Wessex team for being so welcoming, and I’m especially grateful to to the wonderful barristers who shared their time, expertise and insight with us: Andrew Coley, James and Laura Jenking-Rees. Your professionalism, compassion and commitment to justice truly left a lasting impression. This mini pupillage has only strengthened my motivation to pursue a career in criminal law.
