Background
Domestic abuse affects millions of people every year. In England and Wales around 3.8 million people experienced domestic abuse in the last year alone. Many victims only discover a partner’s history of abuse after serious harm has already occurred. The Government should review whether stronger safeguards are needed, including whether police should be able to proactively warn potential partners about repeat domestic abuse offenders.
