A shocking case of police incompetence has come to light after a Wiltshire Police worker’s botched handling of Clare’s Law disclosures contributed to a woman being stabbed by her violent partner.
Officer’s Failings Exposed
Gavin Hudson, 40, who worked on the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS) – better known as Clare’s Law – was caught cutting corners. An internal disciplinary panel ruled on 8 October that Hudson would have been fired for gross misconduct if he hadn’t already quit the force.
Campbell appealed to all UK police forces to reinforce Clare’s Law duties and improve training to stop dangerous partners slipping through the cracks.
Protect yourself and loved ones — always stay alert to domestic abuse risks.
