What to do now if you're being stalked or harassedIf you, or someone you know, is being stalked or harassed there are things you can do to help deal with it. You don’t have to put up with this behaviour or suffer in silence. If you're being stalked or harassed: keep all contact with the stalker or harasser to a minimum do talk to trusted family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, or your manager about what's happening, if you feel comfortable doing so trust your instincts and remember it's not your fault You don't need to collect 'evidence' before you report stalking or harassment to us. If you are keeping a record of what's happened, it's useful if you: record each incident as soon as possible afterwards and note the time and date note details of any witnesses who may have seen or heard anything keep a record of how the person harassing you looked; for example details of what they were wearing or their vehicle keep messages or record any phone calls you receive ask neighbours, friends and people you work with to record any details if they witness anything Staying safeIt's not your fault that this is happening to you and you shouldn't have to feel as if you need to adjust your behaviour any more than any of us do to stay safe from harm. You might want to consider: carrying a personal alarm parking in well-lit areas or where there is CCTV if you are being followed, heading for a place of safety making sure your home is secure Find out more about how to protect yourself online Unwanted callsIf you're receiving unwanted calls: if you don't know the caller, don't answer questions about yourself, no matter how honest they sound if you have voicemail, don't include your name or number in the message a voicemail message should never tell people that you're out or away if you’re listed in any directories, give your initials and surname rather than your full name
