1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men will be a victim of stalking in their lifetime. If you, or someone you know, has been a victim of stalking, you are not alone. The National Stalking Helpline is here to support you at 0808 802 0300 or https://lnkd.in/g3k33g4 #16Days #StalkingAwareness

Stalking is an insidious crime of fixation and obsession that disproportionately affects women. In one study 94% of femicides showed patterns of stalking were present in the antecedent behaviours.   Donate today and help victims with safeguarding and support. https://lnkd.in/e8HTj4y6 #RightToBeSafe #StalkingAwareness

Only 1.7% of reports of stalking to the police end in a conviction. Specialist stalking training must be mandated across the criminal justice system so that no victim falls through the gaps. https://lnkd.in/ebNRHtSw #16Days #StalkingAwareness #RightToBeSafe

Would you know what to do if you saw harassment taking place? I never had a clue what to do, how I could intervene or support the person being harassed.   We deliver Stand Up Against Harassment bystander intervention training, which will enable you to feel confident to intervene safely should you see harassment taking place. Research has told us that 86% of UK witnesses who have intervened reported that their action improved the situation. Sign up to the upcoming 30 minute FREE training courses, and learn how you can intervene safely if you see harassment occur.   https://lnkd.in/gzR9MhyG #RightToBeSafe #WeStandUp #BystanderIntervention #Harassment Suzy Lamplugh Trust

We achieved another legislative milestone in 2019, when we championed the introduction of Stalking Protection Orders into law.  We run open-access courses for police professionals to train delegates on the use of SPOs: https://lnkd.in/geybbeN     #16Days #StalkingAwareness #StalkingProtectionOrders

The Worker Protection Act mandates that employers take ‘reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.’ It is imperative for employers to act now to fulfil this duty of care. This includes ensuring workplace safety policies clearly outline preventive measures against sexual harassment and upskilling workforces to drive behavioural and cultural change. Join our webinar on Tuesday, 10th December, where we will be discussing the roadmap to effective compliance. https://lnkd.in/eZa5kTfP #WorkerProtectionAct #Harassment #Webinar

Harassment is part of a continuum of behaviours that make up VAWG.     Following our legislative success in 1997, we continued to push for change by championing the Protection of Freedoms Act in 2012, bringing about legislation that addresses stalking.   #16Days #RightToBeSafe #StalkingAwareness
