Dating Apps Could Help Prevent Abuse—So Why Aren’t They Promoting Claire’s Law?


Dating Apps Could Help Prevent Abuse—So Why Aren’t They Promoting Claire’s Law?
The Issue
Millions of people use dating apps every day to meet strangers—but most are unaware of Claire’s Law, a UK scheme that allows individuals to check whether a partner has a history of domestic abuse.
This is a critical gap in user safety.
Claire’s Law gives people the right to make informed decisions that could prevent harm before it happens. Yet awareness remains low, particularly among the same demographic most likely to use apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge.
These platforms reach millions of users, but they do not promote one of the most important preventative safety tools available.
This is a missed opportunity to protect users.
Dating apps already provide safety advice and guidance. Adding simple, in-app awareness of Claire’s Law—through banners, notifications, or safety sections—would be a low-effort, high-impact step that could help prevent abusive relationships before they begin.
We are calling on dating apps to take responsibility for user safety by integrating Claire’s Law into their platforms.
By signing this petition, you are urging these companies to use their reach to inform, protect, and empower their users.
Awareness saves lives. It’s time dating apps did more.
