Clare’s Law is a ‘true legacy’ to the memory of murdered domestic violence victim Clare Wood, according to Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd.

Domestic violence occurs every eight and a half minutes in Greater Manchester, according to new figures released by Greater Manchester Police.

A scheme allowing people to find out if their partner has a history of domestic violence has been used more than 1,300 times in less than 12 months.

Greater Manchester Police have lashed back at their own watchdog for not making ‘clearer guidance available’ to the force before Katie Cullen’s murder five years ago.

Life-saving Clare’s Law has already saved nearly 280 people from domestic abuse in just two years, police announce today.
