PALADIN NSAS
Paladin was established in July 2013 following a highly successful Stalking Reform Campaign in Parliament spearheaded by Laura Richards and others. Our trained specialist Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworkers (ISACs) are available to ensure that high risk victims of stalking are supported and that a coordinated community response is developed locally to keep victims and their children safe.
