IDENTIFYING A POTENTIAL ABUSER (Male or female)
Clare's law, otherwise known as Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, or Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland (DSDAD) in Scotland, is a law which was introduced after a 36 year old female - Clare Wood - was murdered by her ex partner. Clare was unaware of her ex boyfriends history of violence against women.
Clare's father, Michael Brown, fought to give people the right to find out whether or not they have reason to be concerned about their partner. He also fought to give police and other agencies the power to disclose to that person, if there are reasons to be concerned that their partner has a history of domestic abuse. Whilst Clare was a female victim, it is fully acknowledged that males are also victims and this law also applies to males seeking to establish whether or not their partner (male or female) is a person with a history of domestic abuse.
