(50) Where the danger posed by the offenders and the possible risks of repetition of the offences make it appropriate, convicted offenders should be temporarily or permanently prevented from exercising at least professional activities involving direct and regular contacts with children or within organisations that work for children or organisations acting in the public interest on the fight against child sexual abuse . Employers when recruiting for a post involving direct and regular contact with children should request information on existing convictions for sexual offences against children entered in the criminal record, or of existing disqualifications. For the purposes of this Directive, the term ‘employers’ should also cover persons running an organisation that is active in volunteer work related to the supervision or care of children involving direct and regular contact with children , including community settings such as schools, hospitals, social care services, sports clubs or religious communities . The way such information is delivered, such as for example access via the person concerned, and the precise content of the information, the meaning of organised voluntary activities and direct and regular contact with children should be laid down in accordance with national law. However, the information transmitted from one competent authority to another should at least contain all relevant records stored by any Member State in their national criminal records registers, and all relevant records that can be easily obtained from third countries, such as information that can be obtained from the United Kingdom through the channel established in accordance with Title IX of Part Three of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part19 . _________________ 19 OJ L 149, 30.4.2021, p. 10, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/agree_internation/ 2021/689(1)/ojhttp://data.europa.eu/eli/agr ee_internation/2021/689(1)/oj.

(58) Despite such efforts by Member States , the removal of child sexual abuse material at its source is often not possible when the original materials are not located within the Union, either because the State where the servers are hosted is not willing to cooperate or because obtaining removal of the material from the State concerned proves to be particularly long. Mechanisms mayshould also be put in place to block access from the Union’s territory to Internet pages identified as containing or disseminating child sexual abuse material . The measures undertaken by Member States in accordance with this Directive in order to remove or, where appropriate, block websites containing child sexual abuse material could be based on various types of public action, such as legislative, non- legislative, judicial or other. In that context, this Directive is without prejudice to voluntary action taken by the Internet industry to prevent the misuse of its services or to any support for such action by Member States. Whichever basis for action or method is chosen, Member States should ensure that it provides an adequate level of legal certainty and predictability to users and service providers. Both with a view to the removal and the blocking of child abuse content, cooperation between public authorities should be established and strengthened, particularly in the interests of ensuring that national lists of websites containing child sexual abuse material are as complete as possible and of avoiding duplication of work. Any such developments must take account of the rights of the end users and comply with existing legal and judicial procedures and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The EU co- funded network of hotlines22 handles reports of alleged child sexual abuse material reported anonymously by the public and cooperates with law enforcement and industry at national, European and global level to ensure swift removal of this type of content. _________________ 22 Currently under the Digital Europe Programme.
