The domestic violence disclosure scheme named after domestic violence victim Clare Wood has been brought in throughout England and Wales.
Clare Wood from Manchester was murdered in 2009 by her boyfriend who had a history of violence towards women that she was not aware of, in the period leading up to her murder Clare had, on numerous occasions, contacted the Police in Manchester advising that Mr. Appleton had been abusive in many ways. The Police Watchdog found that Miss Wood had been let down by the Police force, Miss woods was not aware of the jail term served by her boyfriend for breaching a restraining order.
At the inquest the coroner said that women in abusive relationships should have the right to know if their partner had a history of violence.
The scheme permits the police to disclose any information upon request relating to any violence caused by their partner.
The pilot scheme run in four areas including Miss Woods home city Manchester, has proved a great success and provided over 100 people with information that could protect them from harm.
In addition to the introduction of Clare's Law, magistrates have been given greater powers and can grant a Domestic Violence Protection Order, preventing the perpetrator of the act from contacting victims for 28 days.
With 76 women being killed by their partners last year and 100's more a victim of violence, it is hoped that the new measures, will reduce this appalling statistic.
If you feel you could be a victim of domestic violence or are a victim, get help immediately via your local Police Force or call the national domestic violence support line on 0808 2000 247
