I will continue to share Della's story and raise awareness of
@DellasLaw because this is an issue that cannot be allowed to fade into the background.
Changing a name should never make it easier to conceal a history of sexual offending.
A new name does not create a new past, and safeguarding must never lose sight of the person behind that name.
Della Wright has spent years turning what happened to her into a fight to protect others.
There has been some progress..
The Crime and Policing Act 2026 is now law and contains new safeguards around registered sex offenders changing their names, including advance notification requirements and new police powers relating to identity documents.
However, key provisions are not yet in force and the changes do not amount to a blanket ban on registered sex offenders changing their names.
So the campaign continues.
Della fought to make this issue impossible to ignore, so the least we can do is keep people talking about it.
Please watch, listen and share.
