The impact of sexual abuse, particularly on children, is a devastating thing, and we want to make sure that that doesn't happen to our tamariki. The reason for having a register is to ensure that police are able to monitor those people to make sure that they know where they work, that they are clear about whether they work with children or not and are clear about their plans for travel, and that they know their names, their addresses, and suchlike, and without that, we cannot be sure that appropriate monitoring is in place.
