Clares Law
This enables the police to release information about any previous history of violence or abuse a person might have. Under Clare's Law you can:
- apply for information about your current or ex-partner because you're worried they may have a history of abuse and are a risk to you
- request information about the current or ex-partner of a friend or relative because you're worried they might be at risk
Visit the Metropolitan Police website for more information on Clares Law
