Rejected petition Stop rehousing paedophiles in communities with young children

All too often paedophiles are housed in close proximity to schools and communities with lots of young children, I think this is absurd and should not happen

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

The UK Government is not directly responsible for rehousing prisoners when they complete their sentences so we're not sure what action you would like it to take.

Restrictions, such as having to stay away from schools or other areas with young children, can also be placed on sex offenders who are released on licence. This would be the responsibility of the Parole Board and not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
