An urgent review has been initiated into Clare’s Law disclosures handled by Wiltshire Police after concerns were raised regarding disclosures made under the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (commonly known as Clare’s Law) by one member of the police staff. This move comes following a voluntary referral earlier this year to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) regarding these concerns.

The police staff member in question has been served with a notice of investigation by the IOPC and is currently suspended from the force. The IOPC has decided to independently investigate these allegations, and further consultations are underway concerning additional concerns that have come to light.
