Petition Action

Make it a legal requirement for individuals to report child sexual abuse

Petition Details

The previous government proposed making it a mandatory duty for those working or volunteering with children to report child sexual abuse. We would like the Government to make it a legal requirement for all individuals to report child sexual abuse.

Additional Information

We believe that this will help protect vulnerable innocent children from child sex abusers and those who enable or actively protect them, by introducing requirements for everyone to report child sexual abuse.
