Sarah’s law - has anyone done one?

[Cagooled]

I want to do a Sarah’s Law on someone close to me, however I don’t want them to find out. I’ve read this online, that if there is a disclosure they may be informed the police have made one. I know there will be a disclosure from it, what I want to know is whether the disclosure marries up with what they have told me. However, if they are informed the police are making a disclosure it will be entirely obvious it was to me. Has anyone made one, did this happen? The wording of ‘may’ doesn’t entirely help me.

“No they will not be told that they are being checked out unless a disclosure takes place. If a disclosure does take place the subject may be informed that someone is going to receive a disclosure about them”

It’s not a yes or no answer really, it’s entirely situation dependent and multiple factors are considered. What SHOULD be happening in practice is that the subject of the disclosure is informed because there is the potential that they could make what’s called a self-disclosure, which is essentially what it says on the tin, they tell you themselves, sometimes this is done with both of you & the police, if not then the police do check afterwards that all the relevant facts have been disclosed. There are situations though whereby the subject wouldn’t be involved or notified though for example where doing so would put a child at risk of harm or increase a child’s risk of harm, put a partner at risk of harm etc, there are a few reasons.
