We want faster checks, stronger long-term monitoring and regular risk reviews for registered sex offenders and domestic abusers. Where identities cannot legally be disclosed, we believe local statistics should show how many registered offenders are in an area. Safeguarding laws must work in practice, protect children and victims, and prevent harm before it happens.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-10-01T13:13:14.080Z","updated_at":"2026-10-23T08:59:38.210Z","rejected_at":"2026-10-23T08:59:30.113Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-02T17:05:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":"We understand that you are concerned about safeguarding, but we're not exactly sure what you mean by \"faster checks, stronger long-term monitoring and regular risk reviews for registered sex offenders and domestic abusers.\" You could start a new petition calling for a clear specific action.
