Background

Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work. We work towards creating a society in which people are safer - and feel safer - from the prevalence of stalking, harassment, aggression, and violence, achieved through supporting people; education; and campaigning.

Following a successful bid in 2017 for Police Transformation Funding, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust were responsible for the mobilisation and project management of three Multi-Agency Stalking Intervention Programme (MASIP) sites across England – London, Cheshire and Hampshire. MASIP was implemented in response to the continued lack of effective response to stalking perpetrators, working to manage the risk posed by stalking perpetrators by ensuring the victim voice was central to the response, criminal justice agencies recognised and responded robustly to stalking and that there were opportunities to intervene directly with the perpetrator to address their behaviour. We are now in the process of establishing further sites across the UK to develop the model and provide further evidence of effectiveness.

You will be working for a growing charity that delivers high value impact to its beneficiaries, through its legacy, integrity, and credibility. We are an organisation that has been responsible for the education of millions of lone and frontline workers across all sectors for three and half decades, has campaigned heavily and played a pivotal role to drive changes in the law including the introduction of the stalking laws, has supported over 55,000 victims and survivors of stalking since the inception of its National Stalking Helpline service in 2010, and has always tackled violence against women and girls at the core of what it does.

Introduction from our CEO

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work.

The journey of the Trust over its 35-year history has been astounding in its achievements despite being born from the most tragic of circumstances and we work tirelessly to ensure that Suzy’s legacy lives on. However, while we have achieved great things and seen improvements in the support available to victims of stalking and other forms of violence, aggression and abuse, there is so much more to do to reduce incidents of stalking and harassment and ensure the safety of victims across the UK.

The shockingly low conviction rates for stalking leave thousands of victims without the protections they so urgently need to reduce the risks to their physical and mental health. It takes immense courage to come forward to report stalking behaviours which have a devastating impact on victims’ lives, and it is simply not good enough that so many cases fall by the wayside without attaining the justice victims need and want.

We pride ourselves on our innovative ground-breaking research, campaigns and projects. By working at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust you would be joining a group of highly skilled experts in the field, with fantastic training opportunities in stalking, harassment and personal safety.

Come and join us on our mission to reduce the risk of violence and aggression through campaigning, education and support.
