The Community and Suspended Sentences (Notification of Details) Bill would require offenders serving a community order or suspended sentence to tell their supervising officer if they change their name or other contact details. This helps supervising teams keep up-to-date information for monitoring and could assist police when considering disclosures under Clare’s Law, though the bill does not itself expand Clare’s Law. The measure progressed from its Second Reading and is now in Committee stage in the Commons.
The bill began in the Commons, with First Reading on 6 December 2023, Second Reading on 23 February 2024, and it entered Committee stage on 15 May 2024. Public notes explain the bill’s aims and its relation to Clare’s Law, but no amendments are detailed in the available trail.

The letter states that the Community and Suspended Sentences (Notification of Details) Bill, which passed Second Reading, would require offenders serving a community order or suspended sentence to inform their supervising officer if they change their name or contact details, aiding monitoring by Probation and Youth Offending Teams. It explains that this information could help police when considering disclosures under Clare’s Law, though the Bill does not directly strengthen Clare’s Law; it ensures up-to-date information is available for any disclosure. Officials are available to discuss the Bill in more detail.
