@HMIProbation We are calling for: review of stalkingโs exclusion from exemptions; specialist risk assessment & safety planning in consultation with ISACs/ISAs; independent stalking training; and timely and case-specific information for victims & frontline services.

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.
โ๏ธ We are extremely disappointed that this is going ahead. [1/4]
@HMIProbation This raises questions about whether restriction zones & electronic monitoring can provide the protection stalking victims are being led to expect.
It is deeply disappointing that this is happening, while concerns raised for months remain unanswered. [3/4]
Two years on, victims need more than recognition. They need action. Stalking must not be left on the margins of the agenda.

๐ข As Labour Party Conference takes place, what progress has been made on tackling stalking?
1๏ธโฃ We welcome announcements, including the National Taskforce tackling misogyny, specialist courts for rape & serious sexual offences and enhanced services for victims of domestic abuse.
This is particularly concerning given our recent report highlighting the link between stalking and homicide, and the fact that it is now two years since the stalking super-complaint committeeโs findings, which highlighted serious failures in the police response to stalking.
