Target: 10 Downing Street
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
We Need a National Database. Delays in introducing a national paedophile database are hindering Britain's ability to identify and rescue victims.
Delays in introducing a national paedophile database are hindering Britain's ability to identify and rescue victims.
The UK's Child Exploitation Online Protection Centre (Ceop) says a central database of all images of abuse which appear on the web is necessary. However, it said it could be another 18 months before it is introduced.
In the UK different police forces currently have various systems and different databases. Some have their own victim identification units. Although millions of images of child sex abuse have been collected only 47 cases were passed on to Ceop by the UK's 52 police forces in 2010 - less than one per force. In the cases which were passed to them Ceop helped rescue 22 victims.
We need this database implementing now not 18 months. We don't need children to be subjected to another 18 months of abuse we need it to be available now.
