National Stalking Awareness Day - 18th of April 2013

What is National Stalking Awareness Day?

National Stalking Awareness Day exists to raise awareness about the crime of stalking. This year it will be held on the 18th of April, 2013. Each year we have a different ‘theme’ and because of the recent stalking law changes, this year’s focus will be ‘Know the Law, Use the Law’. Currently the law is slightly different in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland but importantly stalking behaviour is against the law across the UK. We want everyone affected by stalking to know that there is help available and that they are not alone.
