Petition Action

Change Clare’s law so that concerned family members can access this too!

Petition Details

Clare’s law allows people to find out background information about their partners in order to leave a possibly abusive situation.
However as it stands only people in the relationship can apply for this. I would like to change it so that concerned family members can apply for this law too.

Additional Information

That is why I would like to change Clare’s law so that family memebers who are concerned that their loved ones are being abused can apply for this too.
As it stands the only option family members have is to call 999 or 101.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about domestic violence, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like the Government or Parliament to make to this law. You can already apply for a disclosure if you are concerned about someone else's partner, but the police will decide who they make any disclosures to.

You can make an application here: www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/daa/domestic-abuse/alpha/request-information-under-clares-law/

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to change.
