The crime of harassment has many
forms, causing varying degrees of
distress and harm to its victims:
information, support and practical
assistance can help alleviate the
situation.
People who report harassment
sometimes feel the authorities do not
take their situation seriously or are
unable to protect them from further
abuse. People who suffer from the
threatening behaviour of stalkers can
also feel isolated and insecure and
unsure how best to get help.
Victims of racial harassment often face
additional difficulties getting help and
protection and preventing further
abuse. Children and young people
facing bullying and harassment may
feel alone and vulnerable. Victim
Support understands these issues:
our trained volunteers and staff
provide independent, confidential
and free support, information and
practical help.
We can help you deal with criminal
justice procedures and can support
you if your case goes to court.
We can also put you in touch with
specialist agencies and help you liaise
with the authorities. If, like many
victims of harassment, you have not
reported this, or other incidents,
Victim Support can provide
confidential and independent support.
Victim Support can arrange a
translation service if you are not
an English speaker.
