Jodi Evans talks to Catherine McLaughlin, Deputy CEO / Director of Services & Development at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust.
The Suzy Lamplugh Trust runs The National Stalking Helpline, a free service offering advice for victims of stalking. They also run free Bystander Training sessions for all kinds of organisations. These half-hour sessions empower individuals effectively intervene when they see harassment taking place, without putting their own personal safety at risk.
Jodi and Catherine discuss how stalking and harassment can take place, with particular emphasis on sport settings. They also talk about the steps people can take to prevent this form of abuse – whether you’re a victim of it yourself, or you suspect that someone you know is being harassed.
