Got it wrong again

Must be a Home Office project as it is so badly planned. The logical and obvious means of access to such a very sensitive register, such a natural target for paedophiles, must be one nomimated and thoroughly screened person at each establishment that actually needs access to the data. This means ONE police officer per division, the headmaster at each school, one senior sister at each childrens' hospital. Local Councils do NOT need access, nor do prison staff or any of the other public servants that think it will enhance their position.
The criteria must be actual NEED to know, not just convenience or having it as additional available data just in case.
It is a very dangerous project and, if it really is necessary, must be so treated and be overseen by the Data Commissioner.
