Can anyone give me some ideas of where is acceptable to book in UK/Wales just for a short break, with a hot tub!!

I know OH has to tell Police all the details etc.

I would rather somewhere secluded if possible (less chance of Police throwing a spanner in the works so to speak)! I've been told by an ex-probation officer that once the Police know where you are staying, they contact the Airbnb or whoever and tell them a sex offender will be staying (or words to that affect).

We have a lot of talking to do when he's released and I want a treat for me.....hence the hot tub lol x

Hi,

he doesn't need to notify in the UK for less than 7 days. My advice would be to book through Airbnb or something like that, avoid the school holiday weeks if possible and go for somewhere secluded with small lodges like for couples only to reduce the likelihood of being surrounded by families xxx

My ex only has to inform his offender manager if he's going to be away from his usual address for more than 7 nights. He's in England. You'd need to check the t's and c's of anywhere you're thinking of booking because some have very specific rules.

Thank you both for replying.

I've obviously misunderstood what I was told......that any holidays etc totalling up to 7 days or more in 12 months are to be notified to the police.

I did wonder how that was possible, eg 2 days in April, 1 day July then 4 days in September. Why would I tell them about dates that had already taken place?

It just makes my head explode trying to navigate all the things you can or cannot do without their approval xx

Even though I've asked for advice, I still don't know if I'm even taking him back when he's released.

I can't deny I do still love him, but at the same time I don't trust him and I'm not sure I ever will 100%.......which just keeps bringing me back to "well you shouldn't be with him then". Then I get annoyed with myself for trying to find answers to questions like "where can we holiday", "where can we live".

I wish we could use emojis on here so that I could put a lot of angry, screaming emojis on xx
