National Stalking Awareness Week

That this House marks National Stalking Awareness Week; acknowledges the profound impact stalking has on victims’ mental and physical health; notes that stalking is too often viewed solely as a criminal justice matter, when in fact it poses a serious and long-term public health challenge; recognises that many victims experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other health conditions as a result of persistent stalking; urges that healthcare professionals be trained to identify stalking behaviours, offer trauma-informed care, and follow the Recognise, Respond, Refer approach to ensure victims are connected with appropriate support services; calls on the Government and healthcare bodies to establish clear referral pathways to specialist organisations to improve early intervention and health outcomes; and highlights the importance of implementing anti-stalking policies in healthcare, public, and workplace settings to ensure the safety and wellbeing of staff and patients.
