THE NEWS of the World embarked on a campaign for the introduction of Sarah's Law following the death of eight-year-old Sarah Payne in Sussex.


Our aim is to improve the protection of children from child sex offenders and it has the full backing of the schoolgirl's parents Sara and Michael Payne, as well as the public endorsement of the Association of Chief Police Officers, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Association of Chief Officers of Probation.

Since the News of the World started the campaign, we have had further support for the objectives of Sarah's Law from Sir John Stevens, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, the Police Federation of England and Wales and a million of our readers.

You can find here the details of Sarah's Law and advice if you or a loved one are a victim of abuse.
