One dad's concerned call


Dear Resident,

 

We were contacted by a man in Cambridge recently who was worried about the new man in his ex-girlfriend’s life who had access to his children.

He knew a little about Sarah’s Law, but we explained the disclosure scheme to him in more detail and he made an application.

He said his children were quiet when asked about the new partner, and he just wanted to do all he could to make sure they were safe. His application, which is in progress, was one of 25 we received last month.

Key facts about Sarah’s Law:

 

  • It was introduced after paedophile Roy Whiting abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered eight-year-old schoolgirl Sarah Payne 25 years ago. She was taken less than five miles from the sex offender's home
     
  • It allows anyone (not just parents) to apply for disclosure information on behalf of a child to find out if an adult, who has access to that child, poses a risk to them
     
  • You can find out more on our dedicated web page.

     

    Kind regards,
