What is the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme?The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme goes live nationwide on 08 March 2014, giving members of the public a ‘right to ask’ Police where they have a concern that their partner may pose a risk to them or where they are concerned that the partner of a member of their family or a friend may pose a risk to that individual. If an application is made under the scheme, Police and partner agencies will carry out checks and if they show that the partner has a record of abusive offences, or there is other information to indicate that there may be a risk from the partner, the Police will consider sharing this information. To find out more information please look at the police information leaflets available on their website: Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme - Clare's LawSO if you have any doubts, or if your friends or family have any doubts or concerns, err on the side of caution, and check out your partner or potential partner. The Law is called Clare's Law because she got involved in a repeat abuser, who eventually killed her. Her family have petitioned for this law for years and it is finally up and working! Lindsey
