🚨 URGENT: The S*x Offender Name Change Loophole Is NOT Being Closed 🚨

Right now, reforms are moving through Parliament via the Crime and Policing Bill that claim to tackle the Registered S*x Offender name-change loophole.

But here’s the truth 👇

Nothing fundamental changes.

Offenders will still be able to change their names — the only difference is they are asked to notify authorities 7 days before instead of 3 days after.

The problem?

⚠️ The system still relies on the offender telling the police.

And we already know many don’t notify at all.

So the loophole that allows offenders to change their identity, avoid detection, and hide their past offences remains wide open.

This matters because our safeguarding systems — DBS checks, Sarah’s Law, Clare’s Law — rely on knowing who someone actually is.

If an offender can simply change their name, those protections collapse.

Victims, survivors, and campaigners are asking one simple question:

Why not actually close the loophole?

Please share this. The public deserves to know the TRUTH

If reaching out to friends or family feels impossible, their is the samaritans ready to listen.

Please reach out when you feel life is overwhelming, you really do matter ❤️ 💙

In her darkest moments, Fatemah picked up the phone and called Samaritans.

That call helped her overcome her worries, feel heard and see a future for herself 💚

“Within my cultural community, there can be a lot of judgement and stigma attached to mental health. It was at this time that I felt really alone and tried to take my own life several times.

I’ll never know who that Samaritan was but that call saved my life. I had given up so many things by this point – all my dreams and goals. It just felt like nothing good in my life was ever going to happen. If he hadn’t listened that night, the only other solution I would’ve had was to take my life.

From that call, I started to build myself up again with counselling and support from the community mental health team. Here I am, many years later, having returned to my studies, become a mother – and I’m also now a Samaritans volunteer myself.

Whatever you go through in life, you should be able to talk about it, regardless of your background, religion or ethnicity. What matters is that you feel heard and you’re able to speak about things in a safe space, and I know Samaritans offers that.”

Talking to Samaritans helped Fatemah have the life she always wanted 💚
