 solitary abuse incident reached a record high in Scotland last year. A large pre portraits of these incidents whereby repeat offenders. I am Pam Gawshall, member of the Scottish Parliament for West Scotland and I know that far more needs to be done to prevent domestic abuse and to support victims of domestic abuse across Scotland. My proposal for a bill which I am now consulting on, would set up a register of those who commit domestic abuse. Affenders would have to provide information for this register. Authorities would need to act upon it where appropriate and those at real risk would need to be informed if they were involved with someone on the register. I believe this key policy in my proposal for a domestic abuse prevention bill would prevent incidents of abuse by deterring offenders and protecting potential victims. I'm also proposing that school children should receive education on domestic abuse. More information should be available on access to support services for victims of domestic abuse, including for people from BAME communities and for people with a disability. And there should be more focus on rehabilitation measures of those guilty of domestic abuse. My consultation is open and I want to hear from as many people as possible, so please share your views with me. Thank you.
