YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Warning: This video contains distressing content.

Sex offenders will be banned from exploiting a loophole that allows them to change their names under plans announced by the home secretary.

Suella Braverman confirmed the government would bring forward legislation that will stop registered sex offenders from changing their identities, while also strengthening background checks to catch them if they do.

The plans come following campaigning from the Safeguarding Alliance - whom she thanked in her speech - for the government to implement Della's Law, named after Della Wright who was raped when she was six years old by a man who had changed his name five times.
