Clare's Law Could Save Lives | Bristol News

Clare’s Law lets you ask police if someone you know has a history of domestic violence — a life-saving tool named after Clare Wood, tragically killed by an abuser she didn’t know about. Though launched in 2014, awareness remains low, especially among younger people and the LGBTQ+ community. Anyone — even friends or neighbors — can make a request, and police review past convictions, cautions, or intelligence to decide if disclosure is needed. Over 22,000 requests have been made by just three forces since the law began, with police aiming for a 28-day response (sometimes longer due to resources). It’s not foolproof, but it’s a powerful way to protect yourself or others — and the family behind the law is urging everyone to learn about it.
