My persons case did not! go into the media.
Can people still find out...?
I was on the phone talking about it with my husband and forgot my windows were wide open, neighbour in her garden sunbathing. I think I was vague enough for it not to be obvious what I was talking about.
Can she search online and find out or call the police and they tell her..? She lives with her husband both late 50s so no children living with her.
I know about Sarah's law and am pretty sure that wouldn't apply.
Panicking!

Hi,
the register is not open to the public. A request via Sarah's law would only be considered if they are the main caregiver of a child who your person has regular contact with. After a request is made and granted for the information the individual who requested the information will be warned that sharing of the information with anyone else is prohibited and punishable if breached.
I completely understand the paranoia of people finding out. My partners case was in the media so that fear of the unknown isn't there anymore. He has had one comment made to him but generally people treat us normally or don't make eye contact rather than making remarks xxx

Does anyone know if it always goes to media? Does it depend on the area/the judge/the sentence or charge or is it just pot luck. social services has advised me today its full name, photo (I did not know this) and home address where they were arrested (not where they're living now). They've also warned us it's likely to hit social media before my person even gets home from court. (We don't even know at this stage if there is enough to charge to send to CPS yet). I can take the shame etc but it's the impact/danger/isolation it would have on my child I'm really worried about. We didn't do anything wrong but are being punished by association for someone else's mistakes. It just seems so unfair.
Hi, no the media do not always report on these cases. I think it does depend on the area as my area seem to post an awful lot of them with at least one appearing each week. They do tend to post name and address but don't always post a photo. SS are incorrect when they say it's the address they are arrested from. It's the address the police are given for contact. My son moved back with us on the night of his arrest and he changed his address straight away to our address and that's the address they published.
In my sons case it did hit social media on the same day but not before we were home from court.
We've had no repercussions from it being in the media. The worst that happens is that we might get excluded from social events or people may blank my son but we can live with that.

I would think that gdpr and confidentiality is still a thing as he would not have given your neighbour consent to speak to the police about his personal details. However you might want to check the laws on data protection as I am not sure what may have changed in the last year or so.
Also the police have to safeguard for you/children and your husband as they wouldn't want anything to happen to you all on behalf of what is going on.
Either way I hope your doing OK and just want to say good luck. This is never a situation any of us wanted to be a part in and it's really hard to keep it to yourself when you have many questions buzzing about in your head (I know it do.)
