For National Stalking Awareness Week 2024, our theme is "Join Forces Against Stalking".

 

Effective multi-agency working is crucial for ensuring victims of stalking are supported from their point of disclosure right through until a conviction and beyond.

We will be showcasing examples of best practice and highlighting the important role multi-agency working has played for the victims we support.
