A pilot scheme allowing parents to check with police if someone close to their children has a history of child sex offending is being expanded.Forces received 79 official requests for information in four trial areas, and disclosures were made in 10 cases. Coverage will now be extended across Cambridgeshire, Cleveland and Hampshire, where it had previously operated only in parts of the counties. The scheme will continue in the entire Warwickshire area. The project has been backed by the government's Victims' Champion Sara Payne, whose eight-year-old daughter Sarah was abducted and murdered by convicted sex offender Roy Whiting
Parents, carers or guardians can ask the police if someone who has access to their children has a record for child sex offences.Grandparents could alert police about concerns, but information only goes to those with direct responsibility for the children.Officers do a priority check within 24 hours, followed by a more thorough risk assessmentIf convictions found, police work out how to deal with it. They assess if disclosure needed, depending on risk to the children.If police unearth something, they may not disclose it if they decide the person does not pose a riskParents and carers are asked to keep information confidential - and could face action if they don't.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7945364.stm
