In plain language
- Judges will be able to ban perpetrators of serious child abuse from having contact with minors in general, whether directly, digitally, or in specific locations. This ban can last up to fifteen years and will be reviewed at least every three years.
- The measure applies to people convicted of serious offenses against children who present a high risk of reoffending, as well as the police and judicial services responsible for monitoring them.
- For you and your family, this provides better protection for children by proactively keeping dangerous offenders away from youth before new offenses can occur.
