Closed petition Create a public register of domestic violence/abuse offenders

Closed on 11 September 2021

This information should be publicly available so potential victims can be aware of the behaviour of the individual before engaging them.

It is vital, critical information that people need to know. Too many people are becoming victims to domestic violence and abuse and it’s taking too many lives and ruining lives also.
