Lunchtime Pop-Up
Stop by the Lunchtime Pop-Up outside the refectory on Thursday 5 March to learn more about the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the organisation in England and Wales that decides whether someone who has been accused of a crime should go to court. They work closely with the police, but they are separate — the police investigate crimes, and the CPS decides what happens next.
The CPS has a few important jobs, including:
- Looking at evidence collected by the police and deciding if there is enough to take a case to court.
- Making sure decisions are fair, based on facts and the law.
- Presenting cases in court, using lawyers called prosecutors.
- Supporting victims and witnesses, helping them understand what will happen in court.
- Working to keep the public safe by making sure the right people are brought to justice.
Understanding the CPS helps you see how the justice system works and how laws are applied in real life. It’s also useful if you’re interested in careers like:
- Law
- Policing
- Criminology
- Public service
- Government and justice roles
It shows how different parts of the justice system work together to keep society safe and fair. Please stop by and say hello and support our visitors who have given up their time to be here in school!
