#stalking is "an assault on all senses". Richard Gadd

Expert-led online interactive #stalking masterclass.

You've watched documentaries on what happens when #stalking is not taken seriously - there can be fatal outcomes.

You've watched #babyreindeer and #richardgadd's honest and heart-wrenching account of being stalked.

We can unpick some of the barriers that victims such as Gracie Spinks, Alice Ruggles and Richard come across when being stalked and what should happen to safeguard stalking victims.victims/survivors.

Learning objectives:

Recognise stalking
Risk assess stalking
Respond safely to stalking

This event is for professionals such as #IDVAs #domesticabuse workers #police, #probation, #socialworkers, #CAFCASS, #housing, #counsellors, #schools, #safeguardingleads #education, #universities #workplace #employers #GPs, #mentalhealth workers and more.

Why attend this training?

Anyone can be a stalker and anyone can be stalked. Learn to be the person who can support a stalking victim SAFELY.

Safe support will mean giving out accurate safety advice based on a risk assessment and specialist knowledge. Thinking a stalker will just stop or blocking them can escalate risk.

We will interactively cover:

What is stalking
Legislation - harassment versus stalking
Stalking behaviours
"Stranger" stalking v ex-intimate
Impact of stalking
Risk assessment
Safety advice and options for victims/survivors
Police/CPS response
Stalker typologies

Learn how to react through case studies and training delivered by someone who is an international stalking specialist.
