Stalking and Harassment Information and Support
Stalking isn’t always physical, it can be psychological as well.
Social media can be used for stalking, harassment and ‘cyber-stalking’. This online harassment can take the form of e-mails, text messages, social media posts, and more and is often methodical, deliberate, and persistent.
Just like ‘in-person’ stalking, cyberstalking has the potential to cause a wide range of physical and emotional consequences for those who are targeted. For instance, it's not uncommon for those who are being harassed online to experience anger, fear, and confusion.

Help shape the NHS South Yorkshire People and Communities Strategy
What does good patient and public involvement look like? Help shape the NHS South Yorkshire People and Communities Strategy (which is the name of their involvement and engagement strategy)
The NHS in changing in 2022 to make sure everybody works together to provide the best care for everyone. How you receive your care, and where from is unlikely to change. The change is happening to the organisations who commission your care. Since 2010 in South Yorkshire there have been four Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) who plan and pay for health services. From July 2022 these organisations will become one - the South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
Integrated Care Boards and Integrated Care Partnerships are being set up across England to join up health and care services. The aim is to improve health for everyone, and to help break down the traditional barriers between hospitals and family doctors, between physical and mental health, and between NHS and council services.
NHS South Yorkshire are developing an engagement strategy to set out how they will work with patients and the public. They want to talk with patients and the public to better understand what works for you about services, and what could be better, so that when the NHS is looking at what it should be changing/ improving it will be doing so based on what they know from South Yorkshire’s public.
As a member of the public, NHS South Yorkshire would love your feedback to help shape their strategy. They want to understand for you what good patient/ public involvement would look like, so that they can shape their strategy based first and foremost on how you want them to engage with you.
For more information, and to find out how to get involved, please visit their website.
