Solution
Stalking Protection Orders+
Early intervention, strong evidence and safer victim journeys for stalking cases.
SPO+ supports police and partners to identify stalking risk early, build a clear evidence chronology, prepare order applications, manage prohibitions and positive requirements, track breaches and keep victims informed. The platform gives teams a single workflow for one of the most complex and high-risk forms of repeat harm.
Why it matters
Why stalking cases need a dedicated workflow
Stalking behaviours can appear low-level when viewed separately, but create significant risk when seen as a pattern.
Evidence is often spread across messages, calls, online activity, incidents, third-party reports and victim accounts.
Officers must consider protective orders early, including before conviction or alongside criminal investigation where appropriate.
Victims need safe communication, clear updates and coordinated support throughout a long and often distressing process.
The journey
The stalking protection order case journey
| Step | What happens | Platform functionality | Value & outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Identification | Stalking behaviour is reported or identified through another investigation, partner referral or repeat incident pattern. | Case intake, repeat incident linking, victim and respondent profiles, chronology builder and referral source capture. | Helps teams see the pattern earlier, rather than treating incidents as isolated events. |
| 2. Risk assessment | Risk is assessed and the need for protective action is considered. | Specialist risk screening prompts, victim consultation fields, psychological harm indicators, property harm flags and partner input. | Supports proportionate, evidence-based decisions about whether an SPO or interim order may be needed. |
| 3. Evidence chronology | Evidence is gathered into a single chronology. | Secure evidence store for messages, call logs, statements, photos, social media material, incident notes and third-party reports. | Creates a clear narrative for supervisors, legal teams and court application packs. |
| 4. Application preparation | Application material is prepared for an SPO or interim SPO where appropriate. | Application checklist, document generation, supervisor approval, court date tracking and task ownership. | Improves consistency and reduces the risk of missing information in complex applications. |
| 5. Condition recording | Prohibitions and positive requirements are recorded and communicated. | Condition templates, protected locations, contact restrictions, digital documents, respondent notification tracking and victim update logs. | Everyone understands the order, the restrictions and the protective purpose behind each condition. |
| 6. Compliance and breach management | Compliance, breaches and escalation are managed. | Breach capture, incident linking, automated alerts, evidence upload, secure messaging and escalation workflow. | Stronger enforcement response and better visibility of continuing risk. |
| 7. Review and transition | Orders are reviewed, varied, renewed or transitioned into ongoing support. | Review schedule, variation workflow, support referrals, outcome recording and dashboard reporting. | Maintains protection over time and enables clearer handover into longer-term support, safeguarding or perpetrator intervention pathways. |
