The official name is the domestic violence disclosure scheme
The focus and aim of the campaign was to give women the opportunity to see if their partner has a history of domestic abuse and it therefore allows them to make choices and seek help
It can also be concerned parents, siblings, aunties etc wanting to help a family/ friend
It is available in England and Wales
Clare met George Apleton on Facebook, she broke her relationship with him after finding he had an affair with numerous women on Facebook
She went to the police and told them he made threats to her about burning her house or killing her
The police did not do a lot to help Clare and did not inform her of his history of domestically abusing women
George killed Clare, by strangling her and setting her on fire
Michael then protested and fought to have the law changed so people in a relationship have the opportunity to see if their partner has a history of domestic abuse
As Michael said the police should have told Clare of his history, it would have saved her
