Random School Question.
Notifications OFF
Hello all.
So please bear with me.
So seen a article somewhere about people with sexual convictions leaving near a school.
So if somebody lives near a school before the knock all is good. So when u are on bail or RUI living near a school still all ok.
But when you get released after courts etc what can you do.
If the house is in the wife's name can the police boot him out and politely ask them to look for other accommodation. I think I saw somewhere that the police cannot boot them out as long it's in the wife's name.
Xx

I'm not sure how close an offender needs to be for this to an issue. We live less than 10 mins walk from two primary schools and a playground.
I think it is also based on their type of offending, contact offences are more likely to have such restrictions. I think iioc online only would be less likely.
You may have seen I have posted in the past the police were not happy we stayed near to a school during our holiday, but technically there is nothing in my partner's restrictions to say he couldn't.

I had a conversation with my husbands offender manager about this recently. This applies to those who own their house, or private renting only, and may be different in Scotland.
SOR is a notification requirement only. It does not restrict where the person can live. So you could in theory live opposite a school and there is absolutely nothing the police can do about it.
The only place they can put restrictions is in the SHPO. However these must the relevant to the offence. So it is very unlikely that an internet offender will get geographical restrictions in a SHPO.
Where living near a school becomes an issue is actually potentially more down to safety should it get out that they were living there.
It's also possible that the police could ask questions, they could make comments about how they feel it is unsuitable etc.
While under probation and / or when released from prison that is a different matter. Probation do tend to vet the living arrangements. However in the case of a suspended sentence or a community order I am not sure what they would do if they felt the property was not appropriate.
Schools however are everywhere and police and probation know that. Local to me is a bail hostel, there are several schools and nurseries in the immediate area but yet it was considered suitable to move an extremely high profile child sex offender and murderer to.
Having lived near a school in the past I would not recommend it. On more than one occasion I came home from work early to find some parent parked in my driveway while they waited for the school day to finish!

Having recently gained experience with SHPOs, I didn't read anything in the order that prevents someone living close to a school however the order is based on online activity and the offender was given rehab and community service.
