00:00This is a huge change for victims. We've heard from them that they find the process
00:04of seeking justice, having suffered rape or sexual offence, that the process is very dehumanising.
00:10The process is very hard to predict and sometimes hard to understand. We're changing that.
00:15Our announcement today will ensure specialist rape and serious sexual offences courts in every
00:21Crown Court by 2028. We're going to make improvements to court buildings so that they
00:25are separated from the alleged perpetrator. We're going to pilot having a single point
00:30of contact as well. These are really big changes. We're getting on with them right away.
00:35It's a £23 million package and they're going to see that over the next couple of years.
