How to talk about the Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland (DSDAS)
Date: Wednesday 25 November 2026
Time: 10am to 11am
Where: Online via Microsoft Teams
The Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland (DSDAS) gives people the right to ask about their partner’s background. It also gives concerned relatives and friends the right to ask about someone’s partner. They can ask if the partner has been abusive in the past.
DSDAS also gives Police Scotland the power to tell people they may be at risk. Police Scotland can do this even if no one asks. This applies when they have information that a person may be at risk of domestic abuse by their partner.
DSDAS has helped to keep people safe from domestic abuse in Scotland for over 10 years. It is important that members of the public and professionals know about this scheme, what it can do and how to make applications.
Join us for an information session to find out more about DSDAS and how it can help to keep people safe from domestic abuse. This event is for members of the public and professionals across all sectors.
