April 18 is National Stalking Awareness Day – to raise awareness about the crime of stalking. This year’s focus will be ‘Know the Law, Use the Law’.

Organisers say that 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. There is more information below about how we are planning to spread the message this year.
