Closed petition Make the sex offenders list public

Closed on 30 May 2024

I want the Government to make the sex offenders list a public record, where anyone can obtain information via a search engine, about whom is on the sex offenders list in their area. These records are currently private and closed to the public.

We don't think people should have to make a request to the police for information about whether someone is a sex offender. We think making the sex offenders register public is an essential requirement for the protection of our children within our communities, and could help stop crimes being committed. This could not only help protect our children but also show the full identity of those who have been placed on the offenders list due to the disgusting crimes they have committed.
