Ask the police for information about child sexual offences
The Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme lets you formally ask the police whether someone who has contact with a child or children:
- has a record for child sexual offences
- poses a risk to the child or children for some other reason
It's not a law, but it is sometimes called 'Sarah's Law'.
