How organisations mark it

  • Take SPARC's training, or one of its recorded webinars, with the team that receives these reports.
  • Check that your forms and case notes capture a course of conduct over time rather than a series of separate incidents.
  • Run the 18 January Day of Action with local partners.
  • Add stalking to induction for campus, healthcare and victim services staff, not just for police and prosecutors.
  • Review how your service documents evidence and builds safety plans with people who report being stalked.
