EXCLUSIVE: Clare's Law Scottish Success - Connor Gillies Speaks To Clare Wood's Dad Michael Brown

Capital can reveal almost a thousand Scots have applied to learn of their partners' abusive past since a scheme started less than a year ago.

Clare's Law lets Police Scotland reveal information about someone's history of violence.

Exclusive figures we have obtained show more than 40% of the people who applied have been successful.

Clare's Law, named after Clare Wood who was murdered in 2009 by a former boyfriend, allows the police to disclose information about an individual's previous history of domestic violence or violent acts, if requested by their partner.

The 36 year old was strangled and set on fire by her ex-boyfriend, George Appleton at her home in Salford. Miss Wood did not know, Mr Appleton had a history of violence towards women. The killer killed himself six days after his girlfriend's death.

The law was rolled out across Scotland last year, following a pilot in Ayrshire and Aberdeen.

A total of 926 applications were submitted under the Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse.

391 applications resulted in an individual receiving information about a potentially dangerous other half.

Miss Wood's father has told us he is "appalled" almost a thousand people thought they could have been in trouble.
