Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (Clare's Law)

The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, known as Clare's Law, allows individuals to request police information about their partner’s history of domestic violence or abusive behavior. It is designed to help people make informed decisions about their safety by disclosing relevant risk information. The scheme is voluntary—people can ask the police to check if their partner has a concerning past, and if there is a risk, they can be provided with details or links to support services. Clare’s Law empowers individuals to take proactive steps to protect themselves from potential harm.
