Today, Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood signed a new international treaty to promote the safe use of artificial intelligence, cementing the UK as an international leader in secure and trustworthy AI. The agreement will protect the public from potential AI misuse, ensuring this technology does not erode some of our oldest values, like human rights and the rule of law. Speaking about the treaty, the Lord Chancellor said: “Artificial Intelligence has the capacity to radically improve the responsiveness and effectiveness of public services, and turbocharge economic growth. However, we must not let AI shape us – we must shape AI.” Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eFjKaVbS

Violence against women and girls is a national crisis, with 1 in 12 women being victims of violence and sexual assault each year. That’s why Minister Alex Davies-Jones visited RASA Merseyside, an organisation that supports women, men and children who have been impacted by sexual abuse. We’re determined to help victims access the support and information they need to rebuild their lives. Watch the video to see how we’re taking action 👇

🎉This #ProbationDay, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to highlight some of the service’s history. 📅 On this day in 1907, Royal Assent was given to the Probation of Offenders Act. But did you know, dedicated volunteers were already working with those sentenced by the courts as early as the late 1800s? ❌ By 1918 and with youth crime increasing during and after the First World War, the Home Office decided that probation work should not be left to charitable organisations and local magistrates, and that state direction was needed. ✅ The Criminal Justice Act of 1925 expanded the role of probation officers and made probation a mandatory consideration in certain cases. 🚪 The main house at Windyridge probation hostel (now known as Approved Premises), opened in 1939 to rehabilitate young men. 💪 After World War II, the Probation Service expanded significantly. The Criminal Justice Act of 1948 further solidified probation as a central aspect of the criminal justice system, promoting rehabilitation over punishment. 🧑 In 1973 Community Payback was introduced, meaning offenders could undertake unpaid work for the community as an alternative to custody. 👐 Today, the Probation Service continues to play a vital role in keeping communities and victims safe. Thank you to all our probation staff for the incredible work you do every day to reduce reoffending, protect the public and change lives.

It was a pleasure to host the Minister for Victims & Violence Against Women and Girls, Alex Davies-Jones, at Bristol Crown Court today. During her visit, she toured the facilities, engaged with our dedicated court staff, and learned about our Resident Judge's initiative to expedite Rape and Serious Sexual Offence (RASSO) cases. This focused approach is a vital step towards improving access to justice and supporting victims through a more efficient legal process.
