DBS to show all cautions and warnings related to Domestic Violence and stalking.

Petition Details

It's too easy for perpetrators of domestic violence to access the vulnerable. The Disclosure and Barring Service filters some cautions and warnings from the record after 6 years. As legislation and facilities improve for victims of DV, it's time to ensure the safety of our vulnerable.

Additional Information

Despite the seemingly mild offences that cautions/warnings that are filtered represent, the reality is often far more serious, as many perpetrators may only be given a caution or warning. Worryingly, after 6 years they may then be able to find employment working with the vulnerable.

Victims of DV typically don't call Police until after multiple assaults, meaning the perpetrator usually only receives a caution or warning for that 'one' attack. It is important this stays on the record.
