Ten years on, Alice Ruggles is not forgotten. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones today 💜 [1/2]

This World Mental Health Day, we’re highlighting the impact stalking can have on mental health. Our 2025 research found that 95% of stalking victims reported experiencing mental health challenges. Yet only 7% of healthcare professionals felt very confident identifying stalking.

As we reflect on four decades of work to help people live safer lives, we are grateful to partners like SoloProtect who share our commitment to preventing violence, aggression and abuse.

We echo the concerns of Rhianon and other victims of stalking ⤵️

As prisoners are released today under the Early Release Scheme, serious questions remain about whether the criminal justice system is ready to manage the increased risk, particularly for victims of stalking. ❗️ We are extremely disappointed that this is going ahead. [1/4]

📢 As Labour Party Conference takes place, we’re asking what progress has been made on tackling stalking? 1️⃣ We welcome recent announcements, including the National Taskforce tackling misogyny, specialist courts for rape & serious sexual offences, and enhanced services for victims of domestic abuse.

On 27 September 2024, the Super Complaint Committee published its report and 29 recommendations on stalking – evidencing all of our concerns and setting out a clear roadmap for improving how stalking is recorded, investigated, prosecuted and prevented, and how victims are supported.

We welcome the new policy motion by Liberal Democrat Women on tackling violence against women and girls, including its focus on technology-facilitated abuse and online stalking. [1/5]

Are police forces doing everything they can to improve their response to stalking?

In this video Dr Kirsty Butcher from the Multi-Agency Stalking Partnership talks about the work happening across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight — where MASIP is bringing police, health and victim advocacy services together to protect people faster and hold perpetrators to account.

Stalking requires a coordinated and multi-agency response. Multi-Agency Stalking Intervention Programmes (MASIPs) bring together police, criminal justice, health and other relevant partners to address perpetrator behaviour, reduce re-offending and improve support for victims.

🎥 For people experiencing stalking and harassment, being supported by someone who understands and knows what to do can make a real difference. Hear from our colleague Steve Lingley on how training plays a vital role in raising awareness and creating safer spaces to reduce violence and aggression.

The right knowledge can make a real difference when it comes to stalking. For 40 years, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust has been working to improve understanding of stalking and support those affected by it.

🎥 How has our work with policing helped shape the response to stalking?

Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Clare Bernal 💜 [1/3]

For professionals working directly with people affected by stalking, recognising the signs, understanding the risks and knowing how to respond appropriately can be crucial.

Yesterday, the Attorney General opened the Multi-Agency Stalking Conference, highlighting the importance of agencies working together to continue making progress in tackling stalking and delivering justice for victims-survivors. [1/4]

🎥 Hear from @jessasatomp.bsky.social on why tackling stalking requires a joined-up response. From improving understanding and training to ensuring victims can access specialist stalking advocacy, effective action depends on agencies working together to provide the right response at the right time.

🎥 What has the super-complaint meant for policing’s response to stalking? Hear from DCC Sarah Poolman, NPCC Lead for Stalking & Harassment, on how important the stalking super-complaint was in identifying systemic issues in the way police respond to stalking and in holding them to account.

Only 7% of police recorded cases of stalking in the year ending March 2025 resulted in a charge/summons. That is unacceptable. In 2022, we submitted a super-complaint against the police, finding systemic issues in the response to stalking across England & Wales. [1/4]

We welcome the Government’s recent announcement and funding for new specialist VAWG protection order teams. This is an important step towards ensuring protection orders are used from the moment victims report to the police. Read more here🔗 buff.ly/StayHRL [1/4]
