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

Closed on

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.
