I was recently in a bad relationship which included being beaten up. After i was attacked i was told that my now ex has a very violent past and been in and out of prison. Even now hes on an assult charge which goes to court soon! I wish a law could be instated where people have the right to check out there partners criminal past even just to alert them to any viloence! Getting beaten up a few times is nothing compared to what some women(and men) go through but its made me think that if id known the truth i might of been able to walk away umaharmed! Mayb a few more stories would end up diffrently is checks were availble!!

review the law!
domestic abuse affects 1 in 4 of us at some point in our lives. under the current law an abusive parent who threatens or carries out actions to mame/kill/molest a child can still have access rights with no restrictions in place. we have to start safeguarding children from abuse. in over 70% of cases within the family courts domestic abuse is cited as a problem yet only 1% are refused access in any capacity. please sign the epetition we have to review this law the children are the innocent party within the situation and they need safeguarding. the petition can be found by following this link; http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/14825 we also have a twitter page for survivors to share stories and support the campaign. look forward to your support guys!
