flag UK to create child cruelty register for offenders, requiring reporting of major life changes to prevent them from evading oversight.

flag The UK government plans to launch a child cruelty register requiring convicted abusers of children to report major life changes like moving or traveling abroad, following years of advocacy by Paula Hudgell and her adopted son Tony, who survived severe abuse that led to the loss of both legs. flag The measure, part of the Crime and Policing Bill, targets those convicted of cruelty, neglect, abandonment, female genital mutilation, or infanticide, aiming to improve oversight and protect vulnerable children. flag Officials say it will help prevent offenders from disappearing from authorities’ radar. flag The initiative, praised by ministers, is expected to be introduced soon.
