Clare's Law, also known as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS), 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
If you are concerned and would like to make a Clare’s Law (DVDS) application, please visit the Warwickshire Police website:

Please note, the form provided via the above link isn't for reporting domestic abuse. If you need to do that, please contact Warwickshire Police. If you are concerned a child is experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect, contact Warwickshire’s Family Connect (Children's Social Care). If you or someone you know is at immediate risk of harm, call 999.
