    According to the CPS (https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidanc...legal-guidance), what you've said is not correct:

    Victims are entitled to receive services under the Victims' Code if they have made an allegation that they have directly experienced criminal conduct to the police or had an allegation made on their behalf.

    I should one again reiterate the difference in standards of proof between civil and criminal courts.

    In a civil court, the requirement is the balance of probabilities (i.e. more likely than not).

    In a criminal court, the requirement is that juries are persuaded "so they are sure".

    If you cannot prove you were discriminated against in a civil court (where the standard of proof is a lot lower), you stand next to zero chance of proving the same claim in a criminal court.
