Closed Prevent convicted child sex offenders from having contact with their children

Closed on

The Government should prevent parents who are convicted of child sex offences from being able to have contact with their children.

Some children were only babies when their parent was convicted of child sex offences, and have no idea they exist. The parent caring for the child shouldn’t have to tell their children about the parent who has been convicted, or be put in the position of having to allow their child to see a convicted child sex offender. This can be very stressful for both the child and their family.
