Domestic Abuse, Clare's Law - Know More & Be Empowered
from Get Legally Speaking With Hatti Suvari · host Hatti Suvari
Domestic abuse affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men with devastating and often hidden consequences. Tragically, statistics show that domestic abuse leads to the deaths of two women every week and around 30 men each year in the UK. Yet many cases go unreported, leaving victims without the protection they need. So how can you protect yourself or someone you care about, from entering or remaining in a relationship with an abuser? Is it possible to find out if a partner has a history of domestic abuse? In this powerful and potentially life-saving episode, Hatti Suvari is joined by leading senior barrister Simon Spence KC to explain how the law can help you access vital information about a partner or ex-partner’s past, including through schemes such as Clare’s Law. This episode provides clear, practical guidance on how to seek help, understand your rights, and take steps to protect yourself or others from harm. This knowledge is powerful and should not be missed, by you, or someone you know and care about — please take a moment to listen and share this episode. It could make a real difference. #HattiSuvari #SimonSpenceKC #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #ClaresLaw #safeguarding #legaleducation #getlegallyspeaking Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
