Make the sex offenders list become public records for viewing

Closed 80 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to make the sex offenders list become public records. Where members of the public 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.
Making records of sex offenders public is an essential requirement for the protection of our children within our communities, to help stop unlawful crimes being committed. This will 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 crimes they have committed. The requirement for the sex offenders list to be made public, will enable a useful search engine to worried parents and carers with raised suspicion.
