What the petition asks
We want the Government to make it illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a child sexual offence to enter a school, nursery or child group.
As it stands some convicted child sex offenders o not have any restrictions in place for entering schools, nurseries and child groups. They can be allowed to attend events such as school open days, forest walks, gala days etc. where they can mix with a large number of children. We believe this puts children at risk.
