Is this not available through the FOI?
Although I would be curious. It’ll show if the whole “immigrants are…” stereotype thing is true or not. Most child abusers I know of are white.
What is the point of this exactly?

Not really, it’s going to be under-reporting certain demographics.
In orthodox Jewish communities they have their own “cops” (Shomrim) and it’s against their religious law to turn a Jewish criminal (especially of their own sect) in to any authorities who aren’t explicitly Jewish.
In Brooklyn, Shomrim has been accused of withholding information about suspected local child molesters.[14] One Brooklyn South Shomrim member acknowledged to the press that they maintain a file of suspected local child molesters, and some believe that this file includes the suspects’ photos and the make, model and license-plate number of their cars. But Shomrim does not share this information with police due to the Torah prohibition against mesirah (informing on a fellow Jew to the non-Jewish authorities).[12] However, another high-ranking member claims that the other member was misquoted, and that the list that Brooklyn South Shomrim maintains is culled from the New York Sex Offender Registry.[46] Members of the Williamsburg Shomrim always consult a rabbi before involving police in a crime committed by one Jew against another.[13]

Like, even if a normal cop happens to be Jewish, that’s not enough because the local police aren’t a Jewish organization.
Obviously other religions like Catholicism protects clergy, but it’s not a tenant of their religion that they can’t turn in any follower to secular authorities who are legally allowed to enforce laws.
In a lot of Orthodox communities, they don’t call 911, they call the Shomrim. If the victim is Jewish but not the perpetrator, then the Shomrim calls the police.
If the perpetrator is Jewish…
The crime isn’t punished or reported any higher. So all types of horrible shit is swept under the rug.

Don’t the Jehovah’s Witnesses have a similar file? I believe there was also an issue in Roman Catholicism of the seal of confession (Apparently priests would confess their child abuse before anyone found out about it, and people would be too scared to be seen as breaking that seal later on when evidence did surface.)

I think you have blinkers on. There’s a lot of baggage around this in lots of cultures.

Do y'all not already have a public database for local sex offenders?

To show that the vast majority of child sex crime in the UK is committed by white, birthright citizens of the UK?

Honesty is the best policy, after all. The only problem is some of those marked as sex offenders are innocent and don’t deserve to be hunted and killed by the vigilantes this list would inspire.
