This Is How Stalking Really Begins - And Why It Gets Missed

We’re closing our stalking series with a crucial perspective.Recorded last November, Chris speaks with Jane Harvey, CEO of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, exploring what often comes before stalking is recognised.Because it rarely begins where we think it does.What if the real risk isn’t the moment someone turns violent, but the months, even years, leading up to it?In this episode, we explore:How fixation turns into obsessionWhy stalking behaviours are so often minimised or dismissedThe subtle warning signs that are explained awayHow victims gradually lose control of their daily livesFrom digital footprints to so-called 'harmless' jokes, this conversation challenges the narratives that allow harmful behaviour to go unchecked.If the previous episodes showed you the impact, this one helps you see it coming.Resources mentioned:Am I Being Stalked tool: ⁠https://www.suzylamplugh.org/am-i-being-stalked-tool⁠Hollie Guard App: ⁠https://hollieguard.com/⁠Connect With Jane Harvey on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/janeharveyuk2024/⁠Hollie Gazzard Trust on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/hollie-gazzard-trust⁠Hollie Gazzard Trust website: ⁠https://holliegazzard.org/⁠----Useful Links: https://buymeacoffee.com/cornerstonesafeguarding  - Every coffee you buy helps us keep creating practical tools and content for safeguarding professionals like youTo find out more about Cornerstone Safeguarding - www.CornerstoneSafeguarding.co.uk Email us at Cornerstone: [email protected] in a meeting to discuss your safeguarding needs: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ0ZwllED1_R0eAmzurUNbXW6dk92TtCp9BE8oysOnlPwBl3L2vNEooyvSJ3fQaQBk_q1onKflh4Subscribe to Cornerstone Connect - https://cornerstonesafeguarding.co.uk/resources/cornerstone-connect-sign-up/- for fresh safeguarding insights, priority access to support, and exclusive discounts. Chris East on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-east-801496174/Leah East on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-east-cornerstone/Producers of this episode: Chris East, Leah EastHost of this episode: Chris East
