This week is National Stalking Awareness Week. This year’s theme, “Fatal Fixation”, highlights the devastating link between stalking behaviours and the risk of serious harm or death.

Stalking is not a one-off incident. It is a pattern of unwanted, persistent behaviours driven by fixation or obsession, which causes alarm, distress or fear.

These behaviours may include:
• Repeated unwanted contact
• Following or monitoring someone
• Turning up unexpectedly
• Sending unwanted gifts or messages
• Tracking online activity or location

Most victims know the person stalking them – often it is an ex-partner.

Stalking can escalate. Recognising the signs early and taking concerns seriously can save lives.

Some very exciting news which will contribute to saving many lives over the coming years.

As one of the three founding organisations of the Drive Partnership, we are pleased to welcome today’s announcement that the Drive Project will be extended to all local areas across England and Wales, thanks to a £53m investment from the Home Office over the next four years.

The Drive Project is the Drive Partnership’s flagship, evidence-backed intervention for those causing harm in their relationships. This intervention is for high-risk, high-harm and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse, established by Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance.

The primary aim of The Drive Project is always to make survivors safer. This is done by disrupting abuse and preventing its reoccurrence.

Jo Todd, CBE, CEO at Respect said:

“To end domestic abuse, we must address the source of the problem – the perpetrator. This funding to expand the Drive Project across England and Wales will make a huge difference to our efforts to support survivors, by holding perpetrators to account, stopping them from causing further harm and giving them the chance to change. The multi-year approach to this funding gives much needed security for the local domestic abuse services that work with the perpetrators and those that provide the support for survivors.

“We have long called for funding for a range of specialist perpetrator responses including prevention, early intervention, work with young people who are causing harm, behaviour change programmes, and work to stop those causing high levels of harm as part of a coordinated community response. This announcement is a very welcome step towards this.

“As the government continues on its mission to halve VAWG in a decade, it is vital that it also commits to dedicated investment for specialist services for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, with ringfenced funding for by and for services for minoritised and marginalised communities.”
