bit of a coincidence here. <br>
I just gave a copy of tech tools to someone who has been working in
this area for ages. <br>
<br>
she really liked the approach of tt4a and is incorporating the guide
into the work she is now doing with young people. <br>
<br>
i'll forward your email<br>
nice one<br>

would any people on this list be up for a project to develop some<br>
practical guidance for organisations (and their clients) that work<br>
with people who have experienced domestic violence and/or sexual
abuse?<br>
<br>
In my head, such guidance would be a marriage of three things ...<br>
1. A good tech understanding of the risks of this type of<br>
cyberstalking,, and how to mitigate those risks.<br>
2. Being able to convey point 1 in, as far as is possible, a<br>
non-techie way.<br>
3. Ensuring that both points 1 & 2 do not in any way come over
as<br>
victim blaming.<br>
<br>
I can do a lot on points 2&3 (but would welcome others getting<br>
involved as well). I'm far less confident on my abilities on point
1 -<br>
which is a requirement to developing point 2.<br>
<br>
Anybody interested in such a project?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
