This week, the proposed "right to know" statutory guidance was announced, which the government said would inform stalking victims of their abuser's identity at the earliest chance.

The government said it will implement two new statutory aggravating factors - meaning judges must consider stronger sentences for murders involving strangulation or when the killing is connected to the end of a relationship.

Alexander added “we need to send a clear and unequivocal signal that no company in the United Kingdom that operates under the existing statutory framework should have any forced labour whatsoever in its supply chain”.

The proposed "right to know" statutory guidance aims at making sure police can reassure those being stalked that they will be told the identity of an online abuser at the earliest opportunity.

This can include more time off and pay that is boosted to full earnings or a higher rate than the statutory offer.
