Happy Valentine's Day from the team at North Sask Victim Services! Earlier this week, we opened up a conversation about IPV, or Intimate Partner Violence. Today, we thought we'd share a bit about Clare's Law, an act that can help individuals who may be at risk of IPV find out their partner's criminal history in regards to IPV risk factors.

If you suspect that your partner may have a violent history, you can call or go to your local RCMP detachment and ask about Clare's Law. An officer will be able to assist you in taking the necessary information to perform a background check on the person you are inquiring about. If it is not safe for you to go directly to your RCMP detachment, an officer can help work out an alternative way to make contact with you, whether it be phone or alternate location. Please note that this process can take up to 30 days, so you likely won't hear back about results right away.

If you are in immediate danger, don't wait to hear about Clare's Law, CALL 911

NSVS is wishing everyone a safe Valentine's Day, take care 💛❤️💙
