just wondering if anybody as used this and if so how? found out something from a friend about someone who has access to my dc, im panicking abit right now

If their surname is a common one do you have their full name and date of birth as well as their current address?

Phone your local police station on their non-emergency number, ask to speak to an officer who is familiar with Sarah's Law, and voice your concerns.

As you've raised the topic, it's worth pointing out that concerns about females as well as males can be addressed by Sarah's Law.

I was under the impression that those in receipt of the information can't go sharing it with just anybody....

The information may not be shared, but once a 'person who has been identified as a risk to children' (An old schedule 1 offender) is in contact with children, it will start 'the process' off.

This will generate a visit to the person and can include other measures, so always worth reporting.

The police do have powers to disclose when a known offender has contact with children. Usually to the people best placed to protect the child. I have found our local officer with 'protection of vulnerable people' remit very reassuring in professional contacts. Ring your local force for advice.
