Understanding and Responding to Stalking

"This course provided an excellent way to hear about the law relating to stalking/harassment, stalking behaviours, redress and help available"

- Attendee of understanding and responding to stalking training course

Introduction

Stalking ruins lives and can lead to rape and murder. It often starts with 'petty or trivial' incidents - for example repeatedly being sent texts or emails, phone calls, being followed or sent unwanted 'presents'. Many don't realise what's happening, ignore the problem and hope it goes away.

Stalking not only effects the individual, but also impacts every other element of their life, from home to work.

Overview

This course is designed to provide an overview of stalking to agencies, organisations or individuals who deal with or have a duty of care to those who are either affected by or are at risk from stalking.

This course will provide delegates with an understanding of stalking and enable them to build or improve upon areas within their organisations, networks or communities to reduce the overt, underlying and reactive issues that stalking causes. See below for course content.
