Closed petition Revoke the right of registered sex offenders to change their name by deed poll

Make it illegal for registered sex offenders to change their name by deed poll. This loop hole has existed for far too long, and makes it easier for sex offenders, including those who have abused children, to avoid identification and conditions of their release.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
