This panel aims to bring together senior digital leaders from across policing, prosecution, courts, prisons and probation to explore how technology and processes can create a more connected, efficient and fair offender journey. Through a collaborative discussion, the session will examine how information currently flows between agencies, where gaps and duplication persist, and how shared digital challenges, such as managing complex evidence, modernising court processes, and supporting rehabilitation, can be addressed through better integration and design. The goal is to identify practical opportunities for improving consistency, accessibility and outcomes across the justice system through smarter, joined-up digital approaches.
Topics to discuss/include:
· How information flows between policing, CPS, courts, tribunals, prisons and probation
· Plans for the new Justice ID system
· Current gaps, duplication and barriers to data sharing
· Shared challenges across policing, prosecution, courts and probation
· Handling the volume and complexity of digital evidence
· Improving consistency and accessibility across agencies
· Ensuring digital processes support fairness for all parties
· Modernising the court experience (reducing delays and improving through technology, integration between HMCTS and other agencies).
· Prisons, Probation and rehabilitation (designing systems that enable rehabilitation and long-term outcomes to reduce risk of re-offending)
