Domestic Abuse Disclosure Scheme (Clare's Law)

How can I find out the criminal offence history of my abuser?

The Domestic Abuse Disclosure Scheme (Claire's Law) enables the Police to release information about any previous history of violence or abuse a person might have on their criminal file.

Under Clare's Law you can:

  • Apply for information about your current partner because you're worried they may have a history of abuse and are a risk to you
  • Request information about the current partner of a friend or relative because you're worried they might be at risk

To make an application under Clare’s Law.
