Abstract
In November 2013 the Home Secretary announced that from March 2014 the ‘right to ask’ and ‘right to know’ strands of the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (the Scheme) would be operated nationally under existing police common law powers. The Scheme sees the police proactively (right to know) and reactively (right to ask) disclose ‘intelligence’ on (alleged) offenders to their partners, for example, supposedly in order that those partners can take betterinformed decisions as to remaining in a relationship/continuing to live with the ‘risky’ individual concerned.
