Child Abuse Register

This register contains the names of persons who have been convicted of abusing children. The register is used by child protection workers to help determine whether or not a child is in need of protective services. It is also used to screen prospective foster and adoptive parents, and prospective employees or volunteers who are or would be working with children.
