Request information under Clare's Law: Make a Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS) application
If someone is in danger or at risk
If you or someone you know is being abused you can tell us about this, either by calling 101 or online. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service on 18001 101.
If there's an immediate risk to someone's safety, please call 999. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service 18000 or text us on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service.
This form isn't for reporting domestic abuse. If you need to do that, please report domestic abuse using our online service.
This scheme gives any member of the public the right to ask the police if their partner may pose a risk to them. It is often called ‘Clare’s Law’ after the landmark case that led to it.
This scheme also allows a member of the public to make an enquiry into the partner of a close friend or family member.
Please note: The Clare’s Law (DVDS) scheme does not replace: CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) Checks, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks, subject access requests or FOI requests.
