Do you want to drive vital change for victims of stalking and harassment across policy and legislation? As a Policy and Campaigns Officer at Suzy Lamplugh Trust, you’ll work on multiple, diverse and fast-paced projects in a committed and expert team.| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
The BBC Panorama episode Undercover in the Police once again lays bare the devastating scale of misogyny, racism, abuse of power, and systemic failures within policing. These are not isolated incidents but evidence of a toxic culture in which discriminatory attitudes are normalised, victims are dismissed, and perpetrators are shielded from accountability. When those tasked with protecting the public are, in fact, perpetrators themselves, it sends a chilling message to victims that reporting ...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Sexual harassment doesn’t happen in isolation. It exists on a wider continuum of harmful behaviours that stem from misogyny. The Worker Protection Act 2023 (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) places a new legal duty on employers and from October 2024 they must take “reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment” in their workplaces. Earlier this year, we launched cutting-edge training with leading law firm Blake Morgan to tackle harmful and abusive behaviour at work. Following on from t...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
One year on from the stalking super complaint findings – Suzy Lamplugh Trust, on behalf of the National Stalking Consortium, demands police transparency, accountability and commitment to ensure meaningful and systemic change for victims.

One year ago, the Committee investigating our super complaint on the police response to stalking confirmed serious systemic failings. On behalf of the National Stalking Consortium, Suzy Lamplugh Trust welcomes the NPCC’s recent report on progress made in implementing the recommendations and recognises the efforts of police forces to improve responses. However, despite the severity of the failings identified in that investigation and the urgency of the recommendations made, we are deeply co...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Parks provide essential spaces for exercise, relaxation and socialising - but research has concluded that most women and girls feel unsafe in parks in some situations. That's why we've developed this vital initiative together with Dr Anna Barker at the University of Leeds and Keep Britain Tidy, which will ensure park employees and volunteers know how to intervene when they witness public harassment. Building on the Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s Stand Up Against Street Harassment Training in...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
We are extremely disappointed by the government’s decision to push forward with the Sentencing Bill without heeding the concerns raised by the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector. Following announcements made earlier this year, Suzy Lamplugh Trust released statements on the proposed sentencing reforms and the changes to recall measures. As the Ministry of Justice has not provided the necessary assurance that all stalking cases will be explicitly exempt from these proposals, our p...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust welcomes the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s (NPCC) report detailing the progress made by police forces in implementing the stalking super complaint recommendations but remains concerned about the disparity of force implementation. We are also disappointed that not all forces responded to every element of each recommendation and that there is a resulting lack of detail throughout this report. We urge all forces to make their progress reports publicly available fo...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Perpetrator interventions play a vital role in keeping victims safe from further harm. Whilst we welcome resourcing to address this area of work, the Home Office’s announcement has led to some serious concerns. It is paramount that specialist interventions for all types of violence against women and girls (VAWG) crimes are equally resourced. Data from the National Stalking Helpline shows that around 45% of stalking victims are targeted by someone who is not an ex-intimate partner, such as a...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 came into force on 26 October 2024, imposing a legal duty on employers to take reasonable proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment and enabling tribunals to increase compensation by up to 25% for noncompliance. Furthermore, employers are also liable for harassment by third parties, for example clients, customers, and suppliers Bystander training is ethical, empowering, and a clear and “reasonable measure” to not only pr...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Sexual harassment doesn’t happen in isolation. It exists on a wider continuum of harmful behaviours that stem from misogyny. The Worker Protection Act 2023 (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) places a new legal duty on employers and from October 2024 they must take “reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment” in their workplaces.

We are extremely concerned about the government's sentencing review announcement which we believe will put stalking victims at risk. While we recognise the immense pressures on prison capacity and the intention underpinning the sentencing reforms, the safety and well-being of victims of stalking cannot be sidelined in this process. Under the proposed ‘earned progression’ model, some stalking perpetrators may only serve a third of their sentence in custody, which could result in stalkers...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Suzy Lamplugh Trust submitted its response to Ofcom's 'Consultation: A safer life online for women and girls'. We highlight concerns that the guidance is not a binding Code of Practice, and that stalking is not adequately addressed. Read our submission below.

We are deeply concerned by the changes to recall measures intended to ease prison capacity. The cohort of prisoners affected includes those serving custodial sentences between 1 and 4 years. These changes will include those convicted of stalking, given the tendency to impose short sentences on stalking perpetrators, who currently receive an average sentence of just 13 months. It is extremely worrying that perpetrators of stalking could be released after 28 days of being recalled. A br...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
When you think about safeguarding employees, stalking may not initially spring to mind when you map out potential risks. But as we can see in the recent report by Suzy Lamplugh Trust, it’s a prevalent issue that can impact all areas of the victim’s life. It may even stem from an incident which happens within the workplace. Stalking can have devastating impacts on your employees both inside and outside of the workplace, and it’s important that you have the knowledge and systems in place ...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Introduction Occupational personal safety risks are distinct from traditional health and safety hazards. While health and safety risks typically involve physical dangers like trips, falls, or chemical exposures, personal safety risks encompass the protection of employees from aggression, violence, and abusive behaviours such as harassment, sexual harassment, bullying, stalking, and other forms of misconduct in the workplace. The Exacerbation of Risks for Lone Workers In the post COVID era mor...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Suzy Lamplugh Trust research finds that NHS Integrated Care Boards are not aware of commissioning services for stalking victims, leaving patients and healthcare professionals at risk. While 95% of stalking victims report mental health challenges, only 7% of healthcare professionals feel very confident in identifying stalking cases.

John Cannan was a prime suspect in the disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh, who went missing on the 28th of July 1986. Suzy’s body has never been found, and no perpetrator ever convicted, but she has been presumed murdered and was legally declared dead in 1993. Though not convicted, in 2002 he was named as a prime suspect in her disappearance by the Metropolitan Police. Cannan was jailed for life in 1989 for raping and murdering Shirley Banks, aged 29.

As we eagerly await the imminent publication of the super-complaint findings, new research from the London Victims’ Commissioner reveals deep flaws in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) response to stalking victims.

In collaboration with organisations such as the TUC and other unions, we have campaigned to strengthen worker protections, particularly against workplace sexual harassment, and supported the introduction of the Worker Protection Act 2023 (Amendment of Equality Act 2010), which mandates that employers take ‘reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.’ It is imperative for employers to act now to fulfil this duty of care.

Today, the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) and College of Policing declared violence perpetrated by men a national emergency. Whilst we welcome this report, and the due attention it brings to the nature and scale of these crimes, we are sadly not shocked by reports that violence against women and girls (VAWG) is an epidemic in the UK. This report echoes findings from the Strategic Threat Risk Assessment (STRA) published by the NPCC in May 2023 which officially classed VAWG as a natio...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust

Stalking and harassment make up 43% of all recorded violence against women and girls (VAWG) crimes. Yet, despite the prevalence of these crimes, stalking and harassment victims are continuously deprioritised within the criminal justice system with convictions remaining woefully low. It is vital that stalking and harassment victims do not fall through the cracks in this general election. As such, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust is calling on all political parties to ensure victims of stalking and hara...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
Stalking is a crime, characterised by fixation and obsession, that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men will experience in their lifetime. In light of recent reporting on Baby Reindeer, we would like to reiterate the devastating impact stalking has on victims, with 73% of stalking victims experiencing symptoms consistent with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Giving perpetrators a media platform is highly inappropriate and may further fuel fixation and obsession towards the victim. It is important th...| Suzy Lamplugh Trust
In light of the widespread media interest in Richard Gadd's Netflix series ’Baby Reindeer’ we would like to commend all victims of stalking who have had the courage to come forward and seek support for this devastating crime. The experiences portrayed in Baby Reindeer are a shocking reminder of the extent to which stalkers will pursue their victim through any means possible and how frightening this is for anyone who is the subject of such fixated and obsessive behaviours.

Findings from Suzy Lamplugh Trust show only 1.4% of reports of stalking to police ended in the stalker being convicted in year ending March 2022.
