Tool to Support Response to the New Stalking Legislation

“Stalking is a pattern of targeted and unwanted behaviours that cause fear or distress. Stalking can happen in person, online and through the use of technology. Some behaviours may seem minor or trivial in isolation or be seen as subtle; however, harm can build up over time when behaviours are repeated and used to intimidate or control someone. A person may be stalked by someone they know such as a partner, ex-partner, family, whānau or aiga member, colleague, customer, client or acquaintance – or they may be a stranger”

Regardless of how stalking, surveilling and monitoring occurs – timely and informed response is required.  This incredible tool has been launched by the Minister for Women - Nicola Grigg to support workplaces to safely respond. 

Amazing work by all organisations that contributed – thank you for the collation of such a critical tool.
