Police to release sex offenders' details if children are at risk

Parents in some parts of the country will be able to find out if anyone with access to their child is a convicted sex offender.
A Home Office pilot scheme will allow police to release details if they think a child may be at risk.
The year-long trials are a response to demands for a law allowing more information to be published about where paedophiles live following the murder of eight-year-old Sarah Payne by a man already convicted of sex offences.
