Implement an easily accessible public register of convicted domestic abusers.

Closed 144 signatures

What the petition asks

Create a national public register of convicted domestic abusers, building on Clare’s Law. This register should be easy to access, updated in real time, and designed to help protect survivors, children, and communities.
We believe survivors of domestic abuse in the UK are being left at risk. Police funding cuts, overcrowded prisons, and weak monitoring can mean too many abusers are released without proper oversight. We feel that measures like Clare’s Law and electronic tagging are steps in the right direction, but they don’t go far enough. We need a national public register of convicted domestic abusers to shine a light on repeat offenders, protect communities, and prevent future abuse.
