Keeping a record
It's a good idea to keep a record of what has happened when it's fresh in your mind. For example you can:
- Document some examples of the behaviours that are bothering you.
- Save and/or screenshot messages, social media posts, emails or other digital evidence including any messaging/social media profiles, phone numbers or email addresses (don't delete the originals).
- Keep a diary of incidents and record as much detail as you can about the incident at the earliest opportunity so you can provide this later if needed. You might do this by emailing yourself, keeping a written diary, keeping a note on your phone (although make sure it's also regularly backed up to your computer or the cloud).
- Save audio or video recordings if you make any, and back them up.
- Keep a record of things you have already done - for example, you may have asked someone to stop contacting you, blocked them or submitted a report to a social media company.
- Use 1471 on the phone to log telephone numbers if you don't recognise the caller.
- Talk to people who you trust, this could be friends, family, staff, colleagues, support groups or counselling service.
