Privacy row – do convicted paedophiles have a right to privacy? #BBCNolan

The DUP is proposing the introduction of a paedophile disclosure scheme in Northern Ireland. The scheme would be similar to 'Sarah's Law' - the law introduced in England, Scotland and Wales in 2011. It allows a parent or guardian to ask police if a person who has contact with children is a child sex offender. Last week here a convicted paedophile tried to use the courts to stop social services from telling the fathers of his new partner's children about his previous convictions. He failed. So, what level of privacy should someone who has abused children expect to receive? Should there be a right to know if someone is a paedophile, or do they have a right to privacy and a second chance? Stephen was joined by DUP MLA Paul Frew, who last week tabled an amendment to the Justice Bill calling for a Sarah's Law type scheme here, and Luke Gittos, who is a solicitor and Legal Editor for Spiked Online
