Essex Police has said its previous interpretation of the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, also known as Clare's Law, was too narrow.

Until last year most people who asked for information about their partner's past behaviour were turned down.

Clare's Law is a scheme that allows someone in an "intimate relationship" to ask police if their partner has a history of abuse.

Andy Mariner is the Assistant Chief Constable for Essex Police and has been explaining more about improvements they've made.
