Sarah's Law operational in her county
A scheme allowing parents to ask police if someone with contact with their children is a convicted paedophile will be rolled out today in the county where schoolgirl Sarah Payne was killed and should be nationwide by next March.
Sussex Police is one of 20 forces nationwide to introduce the Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme, popularly known as Sarah's Law.
A year-long trial of the initiative began in September 2008 involving four police forces: Cambridgeshire, Cleveland, Hampshire and Warwickshire and is already running in a number of others, including North Yorkshire.
