Petition Action

Exempt those giving evidence of Sexual Abuse from the Official Secrets Act.

Petition Details

When investigating cases of historical sexual abuse against children and young people many prominent accused were in positions of power and protected by Civil Servants and Military Personnel. These people were by the very nature of their job, subject to the Official Secrets Act.

Additional Information

If a true and factual finding of an individuals guilt or innocence is to be found it is essential that ALL evidence available should be disclosed, without fear of prosecution, to the investigating body by ANY person having relevant information.

This petition therefore calls upon HM Government to specifically exempt, by legislation, any person providing information to a statutory investigating body in relation to Sexual Abuse cases, irrespective of any act of Parliament they may be subject to.
