Stalking is a pattern of unwanted, repeated behaviour that can escalate quickly and leave you feeling scared or distressed. It’s stalking if the unwanted behaviour has happened more than once.
Trust your instincts. If you or someone you know has been a victim of stalking or harassment, there is help and support available.
- Tell someone, friend, family member, GP, school, colleague
- Save evidence including emails, texts, photos, diary logs safely
- Contact support services

Support
A pioneering new pilot project aimed at improving support for victims of stalking and harassment in Merseyside has now launched.
The initiative has been funded by Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Emily Spurrell, and will be delivered by MDVS (the Merseyside Domestic Violence and Stalking service) a leading organisation in the field of stalking advocacy and support.
As part of the new service, there will be a dedicated Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworker (ISAC) who will risk assess cases and provide quality support for victims.
The launch of this service supports Merseyside Police’s and the Police and Crime Commissioner’s ‘Taking Action’ campaign which sets out our commitment to tackling Violence against Women and Girls, bringing offenders to justice and supporting anyone impacted.
