Response

A

The number of individuals required to register as sex offenders will vary throughout the year. In January 2018, 88 were required to register. Of those numbers, none are female and only one is under 18 years of age. No further age breakdown will be supplied as to do so may inadvertently identify an individual and the information is therefore absolutely exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.

B

The table below shows the number of Registered Sex Offenders managed each month by the States Police from January 2015.

Safeguarding figures are reported in the Police annual reports available via the below link:
