The Centre for Women’s Justice has submitted a super-complaint regarding what it describes as ‘excessively lengthy police investigations into sexual offences.’ Under the Police Super-complaints (Designation and Procedure) Regulations 2018, designated bodies can raise such complaints if they believe policing practices harm public interests. The complaint, received by His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services on 15 December 2025, was jointly submitted with Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre, Rape Crisis England & Wales, and Bindmans LLP. HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services, the College of Policing, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct have confirmed the complaint is eligible for investigation and will now plan and conduct an inquiry into the matter.
