Domestic abuse, also referred to as domestic violence, will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime. Government statistics show, that domestic abuse currently leads to 2 women being murdered each week, and 30 men per year. The Office of National Statistics states that around 42% of domestic abuse related incidents and crimes, are not reported by the victims, for various reasons. Many victims start a relationship with their abuser without knowing whether their abuser has a past history of having abused others. We looked at how you can protect yourself from being with a serial abuser, either before you enter in to a relationship, or if you need to try and find out if your partner, or perhaps a member of your family's new partner, has any history of domestic abuse. In this episode, Hatti Suvari and leading senior Barrister Simon Spence KC, bring you key information on how you can find out more about your partners, or ex-partners past from the authorities to see whether they have been involved in domestic abuse. Whether you are a victim, or if you know someone who is a victim of domestic abuse, we hope that the free information in this episode will assist and empower all victims to get help. #domesticabuse #domesticviolence #clareslaw #dbs #disclosure #gethelpdomesticviolence #gethelpdomesticabuse #legallearning #legaleducation #simonspencekc #hattisuvari #getlegallyspeaking Hosted on Acast.

If you have a potential claim against any person or company, then one of the most important points to remember is that there will be a time limitation as to how much time can pass in which you can bring a claim, and once that time passes, a claim can no longer be made. Different areas of law and claims that can be made, have different time limitations. So what happens if you are 'out of time'? And why is time limitation such an important point when considering bringing a claim? Perhaps you are a defendant to a claim made against you or your company, and you need to understand if the claim was brought against you within the time limitation, or else would the claim be invalid? Would the Court consider any special circumstances if your claim is brought out of time? In this informative and jargon free episode, Hatti Suvari and seasoned Barrister Tim Sampson bring you all the answers and much more!#timelimitation #outoftime #civilproceedings #legallearning #getlegallyspeaking  Hosted on Acast.
