There are a range of legislative options available to the police to manage sex offenders. The police can apply for offenders convicted of an offence under Schedule 3 or 5 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 to be made the subject of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) if that individual has demonstrated, since their conviction, that they pose a risk of serious sexual harm to the public. This includes individuals convicted prior to 1 September 1997.
SOPOs are intended to protect the public from the risks posed by sex offenders by placing restrictions on their behaviour. Any individual subject to a SOPO will also be required to notify their personal details with the police (commonly referred to as the 'sex offenders' register) for the duration of the Order.
The Government’s approach to tackling violence is set out in our strategy to end violence against women
and girls and the supporting action plan. We monitor the delivery of the strategy and the impact of wider Government policies through regular cross-Government delivery boards, stakeholder meetings and inter-ministerial groups.
