Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme – Sarah’s Law
The Child Sex Offender’s Disclosure Scheme, also known as Sarah’s Law, allows you to ask us if someone with access to a child has a record for child sex offences.
Disclosures provide you with information we hold on an individual posing significant risk to children, including convictions for child sex offences or safeguarding concerns.
Information will only be provided if it is in the interest of the child’s welfare and is not believed to increase the risk of harm.
Immediate danger
If you believe a child is in immediate danger, call 999.
