<p>The Government is fully committed to tackling serial perpetrators of domestic abuse.</p><p>We
will be seeking views on what more can be done to manage serial perpetrators through
our forthcoming consultation on domestic abuse.</p><p>The current framework ensures
that those convicted of domestic abuse related offences are already captured on the
Police National Computer. Where appropriate, they will also be captured on other systems
such as on the dangerous persons’ database (ViSOR) and managed by police and probation
under Multi-agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA). In addition, the Domestic
Violence Disclosure Scheme has also been rolled out nationally to inform and alert
new partners about a perpetrator's previous offending.</p><p>The Government’s focus
is on strengthening this framework and we have been working with the police and stakeholders
to identify how we can improve information sharing, risk assessment and disclosure
in relation to serial perpetrators.</p>
