(The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme means that police can disclose previous convictions for violence, even if a person has not requested it.
It is called Clare's Law after Clare Wood, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. It was revealed after his trial that he had a horrific history of violence against women. Miss Woods’ father Michael Brown campaigned for a change in the law.)
!Note - According to The Wright Stuff, 400 people investigated a partner during the pilot scheme.
