Strengthen safequarding laws and improve access to offender information — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
We call on the UK Government to strengthen safeguarding by making checks and disclosure of relevant offender information faster, improving long-term monitoring of registered sex offenders and domestic abusers, and publishing local statistics to help protect children and families.
Parents and victims of domestic abuse need safeguarding information quickly, not weeks or months later. 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.
