DHA says new legislation provides more stringent controls
There are no current plans to consider introducing Sarah's Law on the Isle of Man, according to the Department of Home Affairs.
It's after a campaign was launched hoping to bring the legislation to the Island.
Sarah's Law enables parents, carers and guardians to ask police if someone has a criminal record for child sexual offences.
In a joint statement with the constabulary, a spokesperson from Home Affairs says they take child protection 'very seriously'.
They say public protection arrangements have recently been strengthened and the new Sexual Offences and Obscene Publications Act provides more stringent controls over convicted sex offenders in the community.
"The approach taken is proactive and set out in detail on the Home Affairs – Keeping children and adults safe from sex offenders page.
It also gives powers for police to put controls on people they believe to be a risk to children, even without a conviction.
