SUMMARY:RASSO 2025 - Pre Trial Therapy Guidance Events for CPS SW Stakehold
 ers
DESCRIPTION:The wellbeing of victims is paramount in every investigation. S
 urvivors of sexual offences can seek the support they need and not worry t
 heir road to recovery will have an impact on court proceedings. Balancing 
 a victim’s right to privacy with a suspect’s right to a fair trial is 
 a sensitive issue. That’s why we are clear that therapy notes should onl
 y be requested where relevant and how they may be used must be clearly exp
 lained from the outset. Too few victims are seeing justice done\, we must 
 rebuild confidence\, so more victims are able to see the criminal justice 
 process through.\n In response to queries following the refreshed guidanc
 e\, as to when the CPS will seek access to therapy notes\, we are happy to
  be able to offer events on pre-trial therapy guidance for our stakeholder
 s.\nThe event will be held virtually and will take the format of a short p
 resentation followed by a Question and Answer session. The sessions will b
 e led by Vicky Gleave\, the Unit Head of the Rape &amp\; Serious Sexual Of
 fences (RASSO) team at the Crown Prosecution Service South West.\n&nbsp\;\
 nThe presentation will explain:\n\n\n 	Key changes in the policy\n 	The Vi
 ctims’ right to decide\n 	Reasonable lines of enquiry\n 	Compliance with
  data protection laws and disclosure\n 	Framework and guidance in place to
  ensure that requests for notes are rare and not intrusive\n\n\nThe dates 
 and times for the event are:\n\n 	6 February 2023: 11.00-12.00\n 	1 March 
 2023: 14.00-15.00\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nIf you are interested in attending one of 
 the events\, please register via Eventbrite:\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThe full Legal
