Criminal justice system: data standards forum guidance
How to use the common data standards for the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales.
Overview
The CJS in England and Wales uses a commonly agreed set of data standards to support ICT communications between the systems used by criminal justice organisations (CJOs). These data standards are designed specifically to support the operation of the CJS. They are to be used with open data standards as defined in the government’s Open Standards Principles. The government’s open standards are selected by the Cabinet Office standards hub.
Common data standards are used by CJOs, their ICT suppliers and potential suppliers wishing to bid for CJS contracts. They are also used to support the data analytics of criminal justice information.
These standards are available to the public under the Open Government Licence.
The selection of the CJS data standards is made by the CJS Data Standards Forum. This is a technical forum which has representatives from the principal CJOs.
Geography
The CJS data standards apply to all CJOs in England and Wales.
