This week is National Stalking Awareness Week

Date Added: 19/04/2021

Since COVID-19 restrictions have come into place, more stalking may now take place online
National Stalking Awareness WeekStalking is part of a pattern of behaviour that is used to make someone feel afraid, distressed or fearful of violence. It’s serious, persistent and unwanted and can form part of domestic abuse.

Stalking is a crime and should always be reported to the police. Since COVID-19 restrictions have come into place, more stalking may now take place online. If someone is contacting you with unwanted texts, messages on social media, unwanted telephone calls or turning up where you are, you need to report it.

If you are being stalked, report it to the police and use the words “I am being stalked”.
You can report stalking on 101 or via the Bedfordshire Police website. If you are in immediate danger, call the police on 999

For more information about Stalking and what exists to keep you safe, please visit the Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership website. More information can be found too on the Suzy Lamplugh Trust website and the Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service website.

New episode of Relationships Shouldn't Hurt
The latest episode of Relationships Shouldn’t Hurt, our Domestic Abuse Service’s podcast, is now available.

The episode deals with a difficult subject – what is sexual abuse? The subject matter is sensitive but the podcast contains a lot of information about where to seek help if you have been affected by sexual abuse or sexual violence.

Listen to the episode on the Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership (BDAP) website or find it on Spotify by looking for Relationships Shouldn’t Hurt. You can also listen here.

If you have been affected by sexual abuse or violence, please speak to someone about it. More information about local and national support can be found on the Bedfordshire Domestic Abuse Partnership website.
