New laws to protect children
On 5th July 2021 new laws will be enacted that increase protection of children from the risk of sexual abuse.
All adults will be required to report sexual offending against children to the police. And all adults in an institutional setting (for example, school, church, sporting club) must protect children from the risk of a sexual offence.
