Response

Unfortunately, Northamptonshire Police are unable to provide you with the information requested, as it is not held in a readily accessible format.

Having searched our recording systems, we have found 1,872 occurrences which relate to the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (Clare’s Law) between 1st April 2022 and 31st March 2025.

Our analysts would require approximately 5 minutes per record to manually ascertain genders and ‘Person at Risk’, which would exceed the appropriate cost limit of £450.

Accordingly, please accept this Refusal Notice under s12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (The Act).

We always strive to provide the highest level of service that we can with the finite resources at our disposal. I have a Duty to offer advice and assistance to help you revise your request, as outlined in s16 of The Act. However, due to the breadth of information contained within the scope of your request, I am unable to offer a solution at this time.
