Wiltshire Police have provided an important update on the ongoing review of over 3,500 Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS) applications, commonly known as Clare’s Law, which have been processed since April 2015. This review was initiated following a voluntary referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) concerning disclosures made under the scheme by a member of Wiltshire Police staff.

The IOPC has decided to independently investigate these allegations, and additional concerns identified subsequently by the police have also been referred to them.
