      The database is for official use only. There is a disclosure scheme where a member of the public can ask the police whether a specific person (who is in unsupervised contact with children) is a registered sex offender or poses other threat to a child.

      There do seem to be crowdsourced vigilante databases culled from media reports, which is probably a very bad idea.
