On 16th June, staff, volunteers and Trustees came together for our Staff Conference, an opportunity for all colleagues working across Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton to learn from each other and share knowledge and expertise.

The theme of this year’s Conference was stalking. Guest speakers, Donna Jones, Police & Crime Commissioner for Hampshire & Isle of Wight, and Rachel Miller from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust shared insight and context before we launched into a series of staff-led workshops on the topics of:

· Perpetrators of stalking behaviours

· Cyber stalking

· Children & Young People’s experiences of stalking

· Safety Planning

· Criminal Justice System and Protective Orders

The day closed with a Question & Answer session around the new Stalking Advocacy & Support Service, which will be delivered by Stop Domestic Abuse from 1 July 2023.
