Let's talk Clare's Law and listen to a real life story from a listener
Season 1 · Episode 10
mercredi 1 mai 2024 • Duration 22:21
In this mini-episode, we are breaking down Clare's law or DVDS (domestic violence disclosure scheme).
We will discuss how it was started, why, and how you go about requesting information under the 'Clare's Law' act. Lastly, I have been permitted to share a real-life story from a listener who has reached out and shared their experience with requesting a DVDS on someone they were dating, and how getting this potentially saved them from being in a violent relationship.
If you or anyone you know are in immediate danger or are suffering from domestic abuse please call 999.
