Pauline Tully (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I move amendment No. 2:
In page 4, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:
“(4A) For the purposes of subsection (2)(d), the court shall be satisfied that—
(a) the consent of the victim is freely and voluntarily given,
(b) the victim has been provided with sufficient information and access to appropriate supports, including from specialist domestic violence services, to enable informed and safe decision-making, and
(c) such consent may be withdrawn at any time prior to the inclusion of the judgment in the Register.”.
