National Stalking Awareness Day: Advice

Advice:

• Being careful what information you share with people you don’t know, particularly online;
• Reviewing privacy settings on social networking sites where they are available;
• Regularly changing passwords, and never share them; and
• Using appropriate anti-virus and anti-spyware on personal computers.
If you are, or think you may be, the victim of stalking, you should:

• Get help and advice;
• Record all incidents, and save evidence such as unwanted texts, emails and voice mail messages;
• Consider obtaining a personal attack alarm; and
• Review your home security – which will also protect you against burglars.
If you think you are in immediate danger:

Call police on 999; If you are in a secure location, stay there; if not, go to a public place with lots of people and tell them what is happening.
