Our school assembly, suitable for Key Stage 3, 4 or 5 students, consists of a PowerPoint presentation with accompanying walk-through notes explaining what stalking is and why it is so dangerous. The PowerPoint links to an impactive video about Alice Ruggles who was stalked and then murdered by an ex-partner, but there is an option to replace this with our animated video, which is less hard-hitting.

By the end of the assembly students should:

• begin to recognise what stalking is and understand it should be taken seriously;
• know where to go for support or information if they think they are being stalked; and
• know how to help a friend or family member who they think may be at risk.

The assembly can be delivered in person or online, by school staff or (subject to availability) by volunteers from the Alice Ruggles Trust. All these options are free of charge.

If you are happy to deliver the assembly yourself you can download the PowerPoint presentation. In return, we kindly ask you to spend just a few extra minutes to provide feedback—our downloadable form includes clear instructions. This is important to us so that we can improve our resources and make them even more effective.

If you prefer to have the assembly delivered by a volunteer in your area, please get in contact with us through our contact form.
