Clare’s Law is the disclosure scheme offered by police forces to people who wish to know more about the background of their partners, or the partners of people close to them.
Established in 2014 following the murder of Clare Wood, who was killed by her partner in a domestic attack in 2009, the scheme allows the police to notify potential victims whether they are in danger.
Since it was created, there have been thousands of applications for information under Clare’s Law from people who wish to know if their new partner has a violent past. Here’s everything you need to know about the scheme.
