Rejected petition Lifetime ban from music venues for any person convicted of sexual assault.

Rejected on

Music venues and festivals should be safe places, yet concert goers are still at risk of sexual assault. Any person who is convicted of sexual assault, rape, upskirting or any other sexually related offence should be banned from all music venues for life.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Conditions for people convicned of sexual offences are a matter for the police and the courts. Licence conditions or Sexual Harm Prevention Orders can already be imposed on people to prevent them from attending specified locations or events.
