Excellent! It was encouraging to how Pam growing more confident in the questions she asked at the GRC hearings and now this. We should support her.

Yes, I think Pam is great - she's bold and not afraid to make waves.

I think it's a great idea in theory, but are abusive men going to use it to get their partners on the register?

I seem to remember databases of alleged perpetrators being kept back in the day, probably contrary to data protection legislation. I guess you would have to consider what it is for, and the strength of the allegation. Otherwise it could be misused..
Also police forces already gather details of allegations but it can really vary between forces what would be shared under disclosure schemes and what wouldn't. I think you'd have to be careful you don't end up with loads of info you can't actually share.

That's a very good point. l my understanding is these registries are supposed to be for convicted abusers, not just people who have had a counter allegation made against them.

I think this is a great idea - I hope that next we can have one for men who violate women's privay and diognity
