Introduction to the Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland (DSDAS)
The Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland (DSDAS) gives people the right to ask about the background of their partner. It also allows concerned relatives and friends, the right to ask about someone’s partner. They can ask if they have been abusive in the past.
DSDAS gives Police Scotland the power to tell people that they may be at risk. This information can be given if it is not asked for. Where we have information that a person may be at harm of domestic abuse by their partner, we have the power to tell them.
The DSDAS has been helping to keep people safe from domestic abuse in Scotland over the last 10 years. It is very important that members of the public and professionals providing services to people who might be affected by domestic abuse, are aware of this scheme, what it can do and how to make applications.
Join us on Wednesday 26 November, 9.30am to 11am to find out more about the DSDAS and how it can help to keep people safe from domestic abuse.
This event is for professionals across all sectors and agencies and for members of the public. If you
