A Guide To Combating Harassment

A Guide To Combating Harassment

In light of a recent news story in which Office for National Statistics data shows that in Sunderland alone, 3,203 cases of stalking, harassment or malicious communications were reported between October 2017 and September 2018, we have decided to re-up one of our most acclaimed guidance posts from the last eighteen months.

After all, it remains the case that more and more individuals around Tyne and Wear are coming to professional private investigation companies such as ours to help them try to evidence and deal with harassment as a civil matter in order to bring about an end to the distress it is causing in their lives.

Incidents of harassment, more so in the age of growing social media platforms, are increasing and police services are now de-prioritising dealing with it due to an ongoing staffing and funding crisis. Read more about A Guide To Combating Harassment

Surviving Harassment – A Guest Blog

We continue to welcome guest submissions for our blog from solicitors, clients, HR specialists, professionals within the insurance industry and the like. If you or someone you know would like to submit an entry – or if you have an idea for a guest blog subject that is amenable to the type of work we do at Surmount – please drop us a line at enquiries@surmount-investigations.com

With the permission of our ex-client / the original author who we helped on a difficult Harassment case in Newcastle Upon Tyne, we’re reposting her blog which received a large amount of attention when first published and which she uses as a platform to a) talk through her experience of working with us to bring her distress to an end and b) hopefully help other people out there who might be in a similar position.

NEW AVENUES FOR SUPPORT AGAINST HARASSMENT

NEW AVENUES FOR SUPPORT AGAINST HARASSMENT

At Surmount Investigations we provide a comprehensive and bespoke support package to those who are suffering harassment in a multitude of different forms, which you can read more about here.

The most common type of support we offer to clients for this service relates to people who have exited a relationship and the ex-partner is causing them distress or in other respects a person has rejected someone’s affections and this person has turned nasty towards them as a result.

However, new changes in the law now reflect an acknowledgement that harassment, alarm and distress can occur to an individual within a relationship and legislation has now been expanded to define a whole raft of behaviours by your spouse or partner as a criminal act.

Solicitor Support: An ‘Agent-Led Trace’ Case Study

Solicitor Support: An ‘Agent-Led Trace’ Case Study

We offer a variety of different support services to solicitors and law firms throughout Newcastle, Tyne and Wear and the rest of the North East. The two that we are most prolifically engaged for service on is our process serving and our various types of people tracing. This week we’re going to look at a successful agent-led trace we carried out for one of our solicitor clients on a particularly slippery character.

An agent-led trace is different to the electronic trace we carry out, although the latter IS the most common we’re asked to do. Read more about Solicitor Support: An ‘Agent-Led Trace’ Case Study
