It is, therefore, that desire to prevent further offending and to protect children from such offending that led to the passing of the Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Registration) Act in 2016. The purpose of the Act was to establish a child sex offender register that will reduce sexual reoffending against child victims, and the risk posed by serious child sex offenders, by providing Government agencies with the information needed to monitor child sex offenders in the community—including after the completion of their sentence—and to provide up-to-date information that assists the police to more rapidly resolve cases of child sex offending.
