Apply for a domestic violence disclosure

You can use this form to:

  • apply for information about your current or ex-partner because you are worried they may have a history of abuse and are a risk to you
  • request information about the current or ex-partner of a friend, relative or in a professional capacity because you are worried they might be at risk

If the person at risk does not live within the Avon and Somerset Police area, you will need to apply to their local force for a disclosure.

A disclosure will only be made:

  • to the person at risk and not a third party
  • if there is a credible risk of harm
  • if it is necessary to prevent the person from being a victim of a crime

Do not use this form if you believe someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

This form takes about 10 minutes to complete.
