They can be confident their document will have been sent securely.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-does-this-work\">How does this work?<\/h3>\n<p>Defence practitioners simply need to look for the green \u2018Send to CPS\u2019 button. This is in the same section of the DCS where they upload case documents and applications.<\/p>\n<p>Using the green button allows the document to be sent securely to the CPS case management system. The CPS system will then automatically flag that there is an \u2018action-task\u2019 which needs to be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>The following DCS sections can be used by defence practitioners in this way to send uploaded documents directly to the CPS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>basis of plea \u2013 section C<\/li>\n<li>defence statement \u2013 section D<\/li>\n<li>expert reports \u2013 section M<\/li>\n<li>applications \u2013 section Q<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a document has been sent successfully to the CPS a \u2018green tick\u2019 will appear. Hovering over that tick will provide an audit record of the sending.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that an item has not been successfully served on the CPS until the \u2018green tick\u2019 is showing.<br \/>\nCustody time limits and bail applications<\/p>\n<p>Defence practitioners should continue sending items relating to custody time limits and bail applications to the CPS via email as well as uploading the documents to the relevant section in DCS.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"where-can-i-find-out-more\">Where can I find out more?<\/h3>\n<p>See below for a link to the DCS training guides and video page on GOV.UK.<\/p>\n<p>Here you can find guidance on which documents can be uploaded and sent to the CPS and the steps you need to follow to make this happen.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"further-information\">Further information<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/crown-court-digital-case-system-training-guides-and-videos\">Crown Court DCS training guides and videos<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crown Court Digital Case System allows defence practitioners to securely send uploaded documents to Crown Prosecution Service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72448\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
