The scheme doesn't work like a lot of people are assuming. People with a DV history won't automatically have the information disclosed. This is in the link I posted above.
“Under the scheme women will have the right to ask the police whether a new or existing partner has a violent past. If police checks show that a person may be at risk of domestic violence from their partner, the police will consider disclosing the information.
The pilot will also look at how the police can proactively release information to protect a person from domestic violence where it is lawful, necessary and proportionate to do so“
