It’s a common misconception that there is a list held centrally, there isn’t, perhaps there should be, the sex offenders register is more of a system, a sex offender is required to notify their details to the police, and advise the police when these details change.
Anyone convicted of a sexual offence prior to 1997 are not on the register.
So how does it work?
A sex offender must register their details with the police within three days of being released from prison or convicted.
Their registration must include details of living arrangements, and must be renewed annually but if these details change they must notify the police within three days, even if the offender is going to be away from their registered place of living for a short while, such as a holiday, the police must be informed, failure to do so is an offence with a jail term up to 5 years.
Time on the register.
This comes down to the crime, age and sentence someone who spends in excess of 30 months in jail will be registered for life, someone who was under 18 at the time of the offence may only be on for one year.
Offenders do have a right to challenge the term on the register.
How to obtain information on an individual.
You will need to complete a ‘Child Sex Offenders Disclosure Scheme Form’ Form 284, which you can obtain at your local police station.
If the checks show that the person has a record you may be informed if the police feel that this puts a child at risk, disclosing the information is not guaranteed, it will only be disclosed if the police feel it is lawful and necessary, and the information will be given to the person that is best placed to protect the child at risk.
The information given must then be treated as confidential and failure to do so can result in prosecution.
