Parents across England and Wales could be told about sex offenders who may come into contact with their children.
The government is considering rolling out the scheme currently being trialled in Southampton, Warwickshire, north Cambridgeshire and Stockton-on-Tees.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said early results were "extremely encouraging" and the project had protected children.
"Sarah's Law" was proposed after the murder of eight-year-old Sarah Payne by a convicted sex offender 10 years ago.
Sarah was kidnapped and murdered by Roy Whiting in West Sussex in 2000.
'Encouraging results'
Her mother, Sara, a child protection campaigner, told the News of the World: "In all the long years of campaigning for parents' rights to keep their children safe from predatory paedophiles, this is the most important development to date."
Under the measures, families will be able to ask police if someone with access to a child has convictions or has been previously suspected of abuse. - bbc
