If it should be then surely men should be given an equal opportunity to find out about the past of their future partners.

I know it does happen but men are usually more physically able to stop a woman being violent.
I'm not sure how this info should be given out though. Also not sure it would make someone leave a relationship. There are so many people out there that think they can change somebody and waste years of their life trying to do so.

yes indeed there should be equality...I believe that statistically more women are abused in relationships than me, although it seems that men are less inclined to report it.
I wonder if this is an example of thoughtlessness though rather than deliberate inequity? Perhaps you should contact Mr Kavanagh and ask him?

No way do I condone any sort of domestic violence, however I do find this slightly disturbing:-
///It means women who are entering into relationships with an individual they have concerns about will be able to ring the police to find out about them///
No mention is made of how they are going to Know who they are talking to,
a Nosy Parkers charter imo.

This "dare to share" approach is being piloted in several police forces right now. Despite many efforts, domestic violence remains high. Over 80% of all recorded instances are men being violent to women. No violence should be condoned, and in some instances the violence is particularly savage.
If you read the background to the initiative, they do not specify women - rather, they say it is an initiative for anyone who wishes to check on whether a prospective or current partner has a history of violence.
This would seem to be a potentially useful initiative - and as I understand it, open to anyone, although women remain the overwhelming majority of victims..

Its all very non gender specific till you get to this quote
""It means women who are entering into relationships with an individual they have concerns about will be able to ring the police to find out about them – that is something we want to be able to provide. I want to see how we can bring this in countywide as part of our repeat victim strategy.""
I am guessing it was a slip of the tongue

I believe you're right woof
My understanding is that anyone (male or female) who is entering into a relationship /with an individual they have concerns about/ will be able to contact the police to find out if they have a record of domestic violence
It is incumbent on anyone with a criminal record to have cleared that issue already with anyone who matters to them - or face the consequences if it is discovered
Just as it would be to declare convictions when applying for employment

/should be able to know why their future partner was divorced from their ex/
Interesting idea
but what would be the documentary source of this independent, objective information?
i've never been divorced but i assume most divorces don't come with a jury's decision or a judge's summing up.
a conviction for domestic violence does

The grounds for divorce in England and Wales are 'the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage' which may be shown by one of the following:
(1) Adultery
(2) Unreasonable behaviour
(3) Desertion
(4) Two years' separation with consent
(5) Five years' separation without consent
Divorce itself is a private matter and if the divorce is un-defended, the details of the unreasonable behaviour aren't made public.
So apart from finding out it was number 2, with no details, what purpose would that tacit knowledge serve?
