The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to Answer of 19 November 2024 to Question 13879 on Sexual Offences: Languages, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of publishing registered sex offender nationality data stored on the ViSOR database.

Answered by Jess Phillips

ViSOR is the information-sharing system that the police, probation and prison services use to manage the risks posed by violent and sexual offenders managed under multi-agency public protection arrangements (MAPPA). The categorisation of those offenders on the system is based on the level of risk they are assessed to represent, not their nationality.
