As National Stalking Awareness Week ends, we thank all professionals working together to support stalking survivors. A joined-up approach means survivors are safer, heard, and better able to engage with justice and heal from harm.

“Going through the investigation and Court process was as traumatic as the stalking itself.”

#Survivors may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down. These are normal responses to trauma.

Understanding this and offering #support is vital.

“I didn’t know it was stalking - I thought I was living in a nightmare.”

Our client ‘Sarah’ bravely spoke out about her experiences & urges other victims to report it:

“You are not alone; there is support.”

Holistic support helps survivors rebuild. #SpottingStalking #NSAW2025

Today marks the beginning of National Stalking Awareness Week. Stalking doesn’t just threaten safety - it undermines health. This #NSAW2025 we’re calling on healthcare professionals to be part of the solution. #SpottingStalking #WholeSystemApproach

@MisterAP7 And that shows how much you understand about rape and sexual assault. Who says there’s no evidence?

@JasonSCampbell I had to take a few days off after my massive heart attack and I was pretty embarrassed, I can tell you. Mind you, my job wasn’t nearly as stressful as recording a podcast…

@EmergMedDr And after 8 hours, they’re the best dry sandwiches in the world.

Today I have written to the Prime Minister about the conduct of one of his members of parliament, ex-PM Liz Truss.

This new act is a start - it has been a long time coming for manufacturers to be held responsible for ensuring that consumers are guided through a clear & secure setup process with new smart tech to ensure online security & mitigate risk of breach/compromise #cybersecurity

[Veritas Justice @VeritasSussex]

Today marks the 1st day of the new PSTI Act making it law that manufacturers of connected tech must adhere to new supply rules.
The law applies to all devices bought in the UK wherever they originated. #cybersafety #cybersecurity #hacking #MFA #2FA

The UK’s National Stalking Awareness Week #NSAW24 was last week, but this miniseries #BabyReindeer, a #stalking biopic by Richard Gadd, is one of the best ways to see how this crime affects victims in such a visceral way #awareness #cyberstalking

[Veritas Justice @VeritasSussex]

On the last day of #NSAW2024, we reflect on the invaluable role of partnership working collaborative in Sussex. Our Stalking Clinic exemplifies collaborative efforts, ensuring victims receive comprehensive support and optimal outcomes as we #JoinForcesAgainstStalking

[WS Community Safety @WSxCommSafety]

Knowing how to respond to disclosures of stalking is vital at all times. Listen with empathy, validate the survivor's experiences, and if you live in #Sussex signpost people to @VeritasSussex for resources and support.

[Veritas Justice @VeritasSussex]

Empowerment through protection: Stalking Protection Orders (#SPOs) offer a lifeline to victims, halting the cycle of fear and stalking. By advocating for SPOs, we're advocating for safety, security, and justice. Spread awareness, spread support. #StalkingAwareness #Netflix

[Veritas Justice @VeritasSussex]

Stalking Protection Orders are crucial in safeguarding victims and preventing further harm. They provide legal recourse to halt persistent stalking behaviours, offering much-needed protection and peace of mind. Let's ensure every victim has access to this vital tool. #NSAW2024

[Nick Podd @mitmpodd]

It’s so very important to realise the weight of #technology in #stalking campaigns today. Pretty much every case we see has an element of cyber-enabled behaviour & the impact on victims is often far greater as online stalking is relentless. Education at every level is key.

[Veritas Justice @VeritasSussex]

Let's talk #CyberStalkingAwareness! Today, technology offers both risks & solutions. 📱💻 From account breaches to #AirTags, understanding the digital world is crucial. Multi-agency efforts are key in supporting #stalking victims. #NSAW2024 #CyberSecurity #TechSafety #TeamWork

[Veritas Justice @VeritasSussex]

Empowering professionals through training is vital to offering effective support to stalking victims and tackling crime. Continuous education enhances their capacity to recognise, understand, and aid those affected.
