Nearly 12,000 domestic abuse disclosures made in eight years, police say

Nearly 12,000 disclosures regarding domestic abuse have been made since Police Scotland launched a scheme eight years ago.
The Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse in Scotland (DSDAS) has received more than 20,005 requests, including from relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbours of people perceived to be at risk.

“Abuse can be gradual and it can be very difficult for victims of domestic abuse to recognise their situation and to then take action to end their relationship.
“The Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland helps someone at risk of abuse consider their circumstances and make an informed choice about the future of that relationship.

“Under the right to ask, people who think their partner may have an abusive past, or (if) their family and friends have concerns, are able to submit an application.
“Where lawful, proportionate and necessary, a disclosure can be made to the person at risk.
“Under the power to tell, professionals including the police and partner agencies can apply for a disclosure to be made where they have reason to believe a person could be at
