Sex offenders to be subject to approval by communities before being housed
Government must put in place community awareness and approval BEFORE a registered sex offender is housed within the area.
Child sex abuse and grooming won't be tolerated in N.Ireland. The laws must change to allow parents/guardians to be aware that a sex offender is applying to move into their communities, allowing them the options to accept or decline sex offender/s to be housed there. This is to further safe guard children.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about housing for offenders in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Northern Ireland institutions and relevant local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
