Public Policy Exchange Symposium: Tackling Stalking and Harrassment

Friday, 19th March, 2010

The Public Policy Exchange symposium, entitled Working Towards a Joined-Up Approach to Tackling Stalking and Harassment, will take place on Thursday 29th April 2010 at One Whitehall Place, Westminster, London.

More than a decade after the last major piece of legislation became law (Protection from Harassment Act 1997), the first dedicated help-line for stalking victims is expected to be introduced this year. This special symposium offers a timely opportunity for Police, Health and Social Services, Third Sector practitioners and other stakeholders to:

Explore the next steps in developing a joined-up strategy for tackling stalking and harassment
Discuss how to raise awareness of the dangers of stalking in the digital age
Assess how to improve investigation procedures and prosecution rates
Consider how to better safeguard victims and support them in rebuilding their lives
Delegates will have the opportunity to debate, share vital best practice, and network with colleagues across all sectors.
