Suzy Lamplugh Trust Offers Free Bystander Training for Harassment Prevention

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust has launched a free bystander intervention training programme across Britain, in partnership with L’Oréal Paris. The initiative coincides with the 40th anniversary of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh’s disappearance.

The Trust, founded by Suzy Lamplugh’s parents after her disappearance in Fulham, has been a pioneer in personal safety and public policy. The new Stand Up Against Street Harassment training is designed to empower individuals to safely intervene and support victims of public harassment. The programme was developed by the international NGO Right To Be and is globally approved.

Free online training sessions are being offered throughout the rest of August and in September. The Trust highlighted that 80% of women in the UK report harassment in public spaces, and 75% of harassment victims say no-one helped them. The Trust is marking the 40th anniversary of both Suzy Lamplugh’s disappearance and the founding of the organisation, focusing on the ongoing need to address stalking, harassment, and abuse.

Letting agents and inventory clerks can sign up for the free training sessions or find more information on the Suzy Lamplugh Trust website.
