My Amendment 246A is similar to Amendment 246 from the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, but a bit simpler. Both would implement part of recommendation 13 of the IICSA report and both would impose the same criminal sanction on designated reporters failing to report CSA, but Amendment 246A is different in that it leaves it to the court to decide on the factors that might lead to a conviction. The court will always take into account what a reasonable person would do in the circumstances when finding on culpability.
