The UK has some of the toughest powers in the world to deal with sex offenders and we are committed to ensuring that the system is as robust as it can be.<\/p>

<\/p>

Registered sex offenders are managed by the police, who are in the best position to identify the risk posed by individuals. There is a range of legislative measures available to the police including civil orders to manage known sex offenders living in the community.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

On 25 January a new policing practice was rolled out nationally to address the increasing rise in the number of sexual offenders. This practice provides for a bespoke visit regime based upon the individual risk management plan for every offender, introducing reactive management for only those offenders who have been assessed as a low risk consistently for at least three years and have not reoffended. The offence people on the register have been convicted of, and whether they are on the barred list, are factors but not determining factors in assessing offenders risk.<\/p>

<\/p>

Other criminal justice partners and social care agencies contribute to the effective management of sex offenders through Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA). These are statutory arrangements that seek to reduce the serious re-offending behaviour of sexual and violent offenders by the sharing of information. The MAPPA annual report contains statistical information on Registered Sex Offenders, including those who breach their notification requirements. The report can be found on the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/563117/MAPPA_Annual_Report_2015-16.pdf<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

We are very clear that the police are best placed to assess the risk of an offender committing another crime, and they will rightly put the public first. No offender who continues to pose a risk to the public will be subject to reactive management but will continue to be managed closely by the police. Those offenders who are considered for reactive management are still subject to the annual notification requirements and monitoring through police intelligence systems. If at any point there are any concerns about an offender in reactive management, they will be reverted back to active management. The police estimate that of the 52,000 Registered Sex Offenders in England and Wales, those subject to the reactive management regime will, at this moment in time, be in the low hundreds.<\/p>
