Remove the statute of limitations on reporting childhood domestic abuse

Petition Details

Currently there is a statute of limitations on domestic violence in the UK. A victim of domestic abuse has 6 months from formally reporting an offence of domestic abuse to the police to initiate prosecutions and two years from the date of offence to prosecute the abuse.

Additional Information

I want the government to change it because probably many survivors don’t realise there is a limitation. We think all survivors of any abuse deserve justice. No matter what type it was.
