A domestic violence disclosure scheme (DVDS) is a legal framework that allows police and other authorized personnel to disclose information about a person’s history of domestic violence to their intimate partner or other individuals at risk.
DVDSs are an important tool for preventing domestic violence and protecting victims. They provide victims with information that can help them make informed decisions about their safety and well-being. They also deter perpetrators from committing further acts of violence by making them aware that their history of abuse will be disclosed.
