The Police Leadership Commission is inviting people across the country to share what matters to them about police leadership - and help shape the future of policing.

Set up by the College of Policing, with the support of the Home Office, the Commission is carrying out a wide-ranging review of police leadership to assess whether it is equipped to meet today’s challenges and public expectations.

In 2025, Open Justice For All changed the law. That sentence matters - but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

Behind the headline achievement sit hundreds of unanswered emails. Proposals rejected. Hostility toward those seeking transparency. And the familiar experience of reform being diluted once it edges closer to power.

Centre for Women’s Justice, Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre, Rape Crisis England & Wales and Bindmans LLP have launched a rare police super-complaint, challenging the scale and harm of excessively long police investigations into sexual offences.

I sat through Edward’s inquest, and I’ve never felt such anger, frustration or sadness listening to police failures set out so starkly. A young man died in suspicious circumstances, and the investigation he deserved simply never happened.

Key evidence lost. Witnesses never interviewed. Conflicting accounts left unchallenged. And, once again, harmful assumptions about sexuality shaping the narrative instead of facts.

The government has announced a new package of reforms aimed at giving rape victims a fairer, safer experience in court and tackling the rape myths that continue to shape trial outcomes.

The announcement forms part of the government’s Plan for Change to rebuild trust in the system and halve violence against women and girls within a decade.

A new opportunity has been launched for young people aged 18–25 to help shape how the UK understands and discusses the rule of law. The Attorney General’s Office has opened applications for its first Youth Ambassadors Programme (YAP) - a six-month initiative putting young voices at the centre of public legal education.

Youth Ambassadors will co-design a national communications campaign, take part in expert-led workshops, and visit key legal and political institutions while working alongside the Law Officers.

When families lose loved ones to fatal male violence, the least they deserve is justice. Yet for too many Black, minoritised, and migrant (BMM) women - and their families - justice remains out of reach.

On 31 October 2025, Killed Women launched INVISIBLE WOMEN, a groundbreaking campaign to confront systemic racism, neglect, and institutional failure across policing, justice, and support services.

Family-led and survivor-driven, the campaign demands accountability, visibility, and reform. It amplifies the voices of bereaved families who are standing together to say: enough.
