I move amendment No. 5:

In page 8, lines 24 to 26, to delete all words from and including "means" in line 24 down to and including “Bureau” in line 26 and substitute the following:"means information concerning a finding or allegation of harm to another person that is received by the Bureau".

The amendment will provide that specified information may arise from a finding or allegation that a person caused harm to another person rather than just a child or a vulnerable person. This is to allow for the fact that a sexual offence or assault where the victim is an adult rather than a child or vulnerable person could also provide a bone fide concern that the person may harm a child or vulnerable person. This is a commonsensical and important amendment to the Bill and I hope it will be supported by members of the committee.
