Hi
thanks but the link does not show so could you insert again?

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.

Just a link to the updated information on Guidance on Part 2 of the SexualOffences Act 2003 dated November 2022. Will help to clarify many queries on this thread and others.

When I did my first ever registration I never gave usernames but then a few weeks later on my first visit by PPU they advised they needed them and the relevant website. I'm not sure about the rest of you but I have loads of registrations on various websites, forums, etc. a lot I can't even remember but would put me technically in breach if I didn't hand it over. But if I don't remember the login, I don't remember the website then I'm not sure what else I'm expected to do.

So in the end I went along the following day with 2 x A4 sheets of paper written front and back with all the usernames and websites I could remember in a list, like "Khafka - Unlock - forum.unlock.org.uk". Bit of malicious compliance but hey-ho.

Which is why I’ve constantly got everything in writing now, so if anyone comes along and says you didn’t do X or you haven’t done Y and I have something in writing telling me I do don’t need to or something was interpreted in another way, surely that’s my evidence?

I hope and prey I never need to use any of this documentation but you never know.

Sorry i had to post in three parts there 

The other confusion is the resetting of the clock for notification, it is only changes that come under section 84 that reset the clock, yet there are PPU officers that due to confusion will reset the clock if you tell them about travel overseas, travel overseas is covered by section 86 SOR 2003 you would hope that PPU officers have nothing to do other than supervise offenders you would think that they would all be on the same hymn sheet when it come to the rules, its not the biggest document to read, that my moan for the evening 

The above document was published in 2018 and under the notification section states the phrase online user names in brackets, if you then look at section 83 and 84 of the SOA 2003 it makes no reference to online names, only reference to legal name you are known by, one would argue that an online user name is not your legal name. (Open for discussion) this is why some PPU officers think they can ask and some believe they cant. The Act is the law, a guide is not law.

Total agree it is the point i make all the time how we are all told different things we are left wide open in the eyes of the law. As somebody that is studying law at the moment i have spent time trying to see where some of this confusion stems from and my initial thoughts are that this document is the cause and the changes that came about in 2012
