Mr Bailey said: We are increasing the use of the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, obtaining more Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs) and Domestic Violence Protection Notices (DVPNs) at court and strengthening the vital multi-agency collaboration to tackle offenders behaviour and improve the safety of victims. Norfolk police, along with other forces across the country, have also contributed to and are waiting for the outcomes of the cross-government rape review, which has been working to understand and address the reasons behind falling rape prosecutions. In the interim, a Joint National Action Plan is being implemented with the CPS. It includes action to improve support for victims, help officers build strong cases from the outset and increase the knowledge and expertise of our officers and staff. There are promising signs as the referrals of rape to the CPS are starting to rise.
