It's five years since KEY 103's Clare's Law was rolled out across Greater Manchester and this morning we can reveal in that time 628 people have been told their partner has a violent past.

We launched our campaign in Summer 2011 after Salford mum Clare Wood was murdered by her ex-boyfriend who had a history of violence that she didn't know about.

It was first rolled out as a pilot scheme across four areas including Greater Manchester - before being passed as law across England, Wales and Scotland.

Figures show one in three applications now made to police result in a disclosure.
